8 fps may seem significantly slower, but let me assure you it's not. Our robot has the same as that, and all 5 ft 130 pounds of it gets air crossing the ramp. Our robot can pick up 11 balls off the ground still faster than any other robot I've seen. Manuevering is not a problem either. We found we can still hang effectively, and maneuver backwards to steal a ball with our arm. Our drive system still has enough power to push back many slower machines. Any faster, we'd topple; 8 fps seems ideal.
