Arefin,
First off this is very good progress. I have a comment about the high speed. I would suggest you leave it at 13fps because although the drivers will rarely use it at full speed, for some games it can be very useful to be able to run around the field quickly. This year our robot was able to pull of a practical(not theoretical) 14.4 fps but we almost NEVER used that sort of speed on the field. It came in useful at the end of the match when we needed to get back behind the line, probably because the acceleration rate was high. If it was not that fast, I know we would have not made it back and probably lost the match.
