I can confirm this.

102 was the fastest robot in FRC this year. They were not the quickest to accelerate, but their top speed was faster than anyone else I saw*.

Team 102 won the FIRST Finale Asphalt Challenge by covering a 110 ft. course in 4.45 seconds. This AVERAGES out to almost 25 feet per second. Their top speed was above 28 fps, I would assume. Other "fast" robots ran this course at no faster than 5.5 seconds.

On the Overdrive field, 102 was able to get good speed in the straightaways, but they were slower at accelerating compared to a few other robots.
