Not sure this is a bad assumption. The work provided by the motors over 90 degrees of rotation seems pretty minute in comparison to the energy built up by several hundred rotations (Granted the torque falls off as angular velocity increases)...

Of course throwing numbers at this would be helpful.

We're also ignoring losses from ball compression.
