Under 1 sec mini bot

At 10.00, you just drive into the tower with your already extended minibot and call it a day. Deployment time doesn't really come into play there.

Driving into the tower can still take time. Lining up is also an issue.

Our team can deploy in a little less than .7 seconds, and also has some things to line the robot up so it will hit every time. Our minibot is currently a little less than 3 seconds (I think) but they're building a custom chassis so it'll speed up at least a little bot (pun intended). We're using magnets to hold on.

And to the thread title, no, I don't think we'll see a sub 1 second minibot, never mind the deployer. Seriously, 10 fps?
