10-12 fps is pretty fast...
While it is definitely possible to make faster robots, I think that 10-12 feet per second is a pretty good top speed for a FIRST robot.
Remember that acceleration matters too when you are not in a 1/4 mile race but negotiating a field with other robots, balls, etc. around.
Also, being fast can be important, but if you are only fast, you are likely to have some trouble pushing, climbing ramps, etc.
Shifters can help with some of this but only to a point.
Good luck.
