Kingman is an extremely fast team, and unstoppable if you let them grab two goals. There were many times in the qualification rounds when they grabbed two goals, and then just plowed their way straight through 2-3 robots and a goal without slowing down. Also many times teams would be latched onto kingman's goals and when kingman started moving towards the goal zone their turret would rotate as they moved so that the robot would end up pulling at a wierd angle and being dragged across the field.

They ended up ranked 8th since grabbing 2 goals is not the greatest qualifying strategy because they get too many points (though they did really well and were even ranked 2nd at one point) and we chose them and 359 in our alliance. Unfortunately, kingman had some problems latching in the playoffs, but they still did well. They also have a tether that they drop off at the beginning of the match and it stays in the entire match.

I am sure that by nationals they will have perfected their latching and they will definately do well.

Oh and just to answer the questions directly:
4. At their fastest they can get to the goal in 1/2 - 1 seconds.

5. Yes, except in playoffs where they were having a few difficulties.

6. Yes, every time they got the goals they lifted them.

7. When they had the goals, impossible. Without the goals, very difficult. I still remember one instance when a team anchored in front of them so their frame was on the ground and kingman pushed them all the way across the field without a problem.
