I get roughly the same:

(5300 rot. motor / 1 minute) x (12 rot. idle shaft / 28 rot. motor) x (14 rot. wheel / 40 rot. idle shaft) x (6*pi inches / rot. wheel) x (1 ft / 12 inches) x (1 minute / 60 sec) = 20.8 ft/sec

That's under the assumption that you're moving straight forward/backward and the mecanum rollers aren't contributing to sideways motion. Also ignoring frictional losses in the transmission. In reality I'd expect it to go a bit slower than that, but it still seems to be off by about a factor of 2 for this years game.
