if that is a really fast robot... then yea that doesnt even account for robots in the way...
actually it is a pretty good number..

50 feet is the distance of one entire side.. now you have to cover 2 sides.. So the total distance is 100 feet. And now saying you are going end to end and making also a 10 ft sideways movement each lap that is a total of 120 feet.

An team should be able to average 8 ft/s.

This actual results in a time of 15 secs...

The numbers they used seem to me to be at an average speed of 7ft/s which would result in 17.1 secs for a lap.
