Good video! The overall question here is the blended rate of bags placed per minute, rather than how fast each action needs to be.

That said, the arm itself can move 180deg/s in every joint (roughly 5m/s max at the end effector) - these videos are still very much v1 and we're looking forward to leveraging more of the mechanical capability with a better gripper, better perception, and some new planning techniques we're rolling out in the next few months.

I guess, just my opinion (probably worthless), if you can get it to speed up even ~20%, I think that would be enough to make the average person agree.
