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.

But nonetheless that is very impressive... I saw a bot on one of the webcasts that looked like it has a burst mode, like James Bond's Weapons from a 007 game. It was spectacular and was one sight to see.
