I would not be to surprised if a decent robot is capable of scoring, without defense that is, in less than ten seconds quite easily. In Swampthing's video, we can see them sorta plodding along, averaging 10-13 seconds a tube- with no real initiative to score faster. However, as I said, this is with *NO* defense being played, or other robots to get in the way.
A capable, quick scorer this year will be the product of a very simple arm, or a very complex scoring device/aid this year, IMHO. Just having a quick, massive arm isn't gonna win it this year.
