Hahaha! Oops..
As soon as I saw your post Dave I figured there was a reason you asked that.

The explanation is that I was having flashbacks of 2 minute TOTAL time matches from yesteryear, and did my very quick calculations based on that brain hiccup and forgot the Teleoperated period time this year was 2:00 with 15 seconds of Hybrid..

Ok.. so with that said... I'll show my work this time. lol

870.5" long path @ 120" in/sec = ~7.25 second lap time.

120 second match (Teleoperated) / ~7.25 seconds a lap = ~16.5 laps

After 15 seconds of Hybrid time, I would say a perfect line robot at maximum configuration could make in the Teleoperated mode of 2 minutes could make a total of ~16.5 laps.

Aye... my math was way off in that first attempt I guess as well.
20 laps was a very generous overestimate I guess.

I'll keep my prediction the same though with my original quote:

I'm guessing a best lap count of about 10-15 will be very rare, and 5-10 will be the norm.
