While I agree that you will see many robots going faster than 20fps, I doubt very many teams will do well that go that fast. The reason I say that is because winning races has more to do with control than speed, especially on a short track such as FIRST has provided.
No. I believe that this year the winners will be the robots with the best control over their drive system and the robots that can take the big hits from those that cannot control their drive systems.
