But video of the battle shows 548's arms in the background hitting and taking before 27's.

The reason Rush lost this battle was not because arm design but because Rush lifts their arms in auto so they can still get the robot set if their whole alliance does. I also did a video on my phone to see and while Rush's arms hit later than 548, their arms are still in the container before 548 can start driving. If it was a head to head match and Rush did not lift their arms in auto it would most likely be a stalemate until one decided to give up. To be the fastest can grabber you not only have to be the fastest arm in the can but also able to drive away before the other arm can come down. If someone else's arm can enter the can before you drive away it doesn't matter that your arm was down faster.
