Even with ground pickup, and a ton of driver experience, I don't think any team will be able to get 9 cycles. I agree that ground pickup is useful to shave some time off of your cycles, but I think this is helpful for getting a start on shooting fuel and working towards 40 kPa. I see it being extremely unlikely for all of the rotors to be completed without having at least two robots running cycles.
