A good combined time for all 3 tasks was somewhere around a minute. We had some drivers that had trouble with each portion - some couldn't gather as quickly as others, some couldn't line up to shoot as accurately, and some had more difficulty with the bridge than others. Each section (and overall) was timed, and plotted accordingly along with standard statistical analysis. In the end, it was very clear who the best option was for the team.
