(I didn't actually run these numbers) But if you did run the CIM that fast then wouldn't the first balls out exceed the 12 m/s speed limit?
On another note, I also hear machinery running during the film. I can hear a soft "thump thump thump thump" before they start appearing on screen and traveling towards the hoop. Presumably noise made from exiting the shooting mechanism.

As you get more into your years in FRC, you start becoming friends with more people. You should try it out. Robotics people are pretty nice. - [more]
