That will cover approximately 120 feet in that time (three and a half round trips) with time for picking up and dropping off empty cells. I don't think it should pick them up from the floor because of the chance of an opponent 'bot swooping in, bumping, and stealing. It must be a positive holding mechanism that operates quickly because the runner 'bot will be an easy target while sitting still.
