I agree. A wide robot with low moment of inertia will be able to spin the fastest, even with the trailer. As long as the entire ensemble fits in the launching pad with the trailer touching the wall, the robot could be biased in the spin direction so the maneuver can be completed as quickly as possible before backing away. That wide robot with the five foot back wall amost completely screens the trailer from the opposing payload specialist.
