The third reply to this thread read that Kingman "at their fastest reached the goals in 0.5-1s." According to some basic physics, their acceleration to the goals from rest to 25 feet is 200ft/s/s, and their velocity when they reach the goals is 100ft/s. Their average velocity is thus 50ft/s. I think the original timing must have been done with a sundial or with the "one-thousand one" approach. Just kidding. But seriously, i got pretty scared when i first read the numbers, and I wanted to make sure we weren
t going to get smoked to the goals. Thanks for your input.
