first of all, (no pun intended) i doubt the average speed will be remotely close to 10 seconds. i dont imagine there will be more than 2 or 3 robots per regional that are that effective. on the average, i expect robots to take between 20 and 30 seconds to cap, and cap about 4 tetras per round.

it is more complicated than simply grabbing a tetra and then dashing to the nearest goal. a team's strategic placement of their tetras may be more important than their absolute capping speed. also, now that there are more opposing robots, i think it is more likely that they send at least one robot to play defense by preventing your robot from capping and loading.

one option, however, is to load more than one tetra at a time (wink wink), vastly increasing the robot's time efficiency. instead of traveling back and forth to a goal twice to cap two tetras, it could stay close to the loading area to get two of them at once (leaving the area shortly between tetras), and then it would only have to go through the delicate maneuvers required for capping once. also, the addition of multiple tetras to a single goal relatively early in the match would significantly increase the goal's height, and depending on the circumstances, make it difficult for the opposing alliance to regain control of the goal.
