Being that we all have the same maximum power output (motors).
-Eliminate wasted power (friction, ect.)
-Decrease the amount of work that needs to get done (weight)


As per the topic:
I think it could happen. I haven't run any numbers to see if the motors + battery could make a mini-bot go up in sub 1 second in ideal conditions. My gut ways it could. As per the deployment, it can be done quick, say .25-.5 seconds.

So, by one of the best teams in the world, I think it can happen once or twice. 1.5 seconds seems much more obtainable for the powerhouses, with 2-3 seconds being fairly "norm" for all highly ranked (top 20) in each division this year at championships.
