Technology wise, it is not hard to meet these specification. Most teams (even rookie teams) will be able to build a static "gearage" that delivery gears at the necessary rate. And a low goal "dump truck" style design with 60-70 fuel capacity should be able to score 40kPa reliably.
You Sir are overly optimistic. Rookie teams often fail at simply driving, now add in driving across the field, retrieving a game piece, driving back across the field and place said game piece on a small diameter flexible peg. Your average rookie is going to do that 1 time a match. Your average veteran team is going to do that 3 times with no defense being played. 4 rotors in quals is going to be a rarity until later weeks.
