Team 95 didn't go to nationals, but I know there were several times we shot 10+ balls per second. I've got several pictures showing 6 balls airborne between the bot and the goal (less than 10 feet away), and one picture showing 9.
However, we didn't get to do this (shoot balls from all three hoppers at full speed) all that often (watch the Palmetto finals to see the winning alliance going out of their way to block us and keep us from aiming). But when we did get to shoot, the results were impressive (we won a semifinal at Palmetto that way).
One time in the pits, the bot (Lilly) was fully loaded, and could send 42 balls from the hopper to being at the target in around 3.5 seconds.
