The problem with your calculations is that you most probably did everything with linear movements which are very slow at turning. However, if you use radial movements (maybe a turret wheel or a deployable caster) your turning speed as considerably higher and thus it is very possible to hit the boxes in 2.5 seconds or maybe even less.
FIRST is hard. It's supposed to be. We can't keep giving people a check and expecting them to succeed. We need to stop this model. It takes a village to raise a child but it takes a community to build a FIRST team. - Andrew Schreiber [more]
