Robert covered a distance of 292 miles.

He took 4 hours to complete this journey.

Next, let's convert miles to feet.

1 mile equals 5280 feet.

Thus, 292 miles in feet equals 292 * 5280 = 1541760 feet.

Now, converting 4 hours into seconds.

1 hour translates to 3600 seconds.

Therefore, 4 hours equals 3600 * 4 = 14400 seconds.

The question asks for speed in feet per second.

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

Thus,

$\frac{1541760}{14400}$

is 107.067 feet per second.
