General question about average times

Hey everyone! I hope everyone's build season has been productive so far! During a meeting today with some of our regional teams, we were discussing different strategies, and while we could agree on many, what we couldn't agree on was the average times it would take to make a stack. Specifically, about how much time does everyone think it would take a robot to make a complete stack of six totes with a container with litter on the top? A mentor gave an estimate of about thirty seconds, but I'm thinking that a robot, especially one carrying all seven objects at the same time (nearly seventy pounds) wouldn't be able to make it in any less than a minute or even a minute and a half. I would definitely appreciate if everyone could leave their guess, as I'm trying to figure out if it would be a better strategy to focus on the big yield or several smaller ones.

Also, as a secondary question, what does everyone think the average score per game will be? It's difficult, for lack of a better word, to pick a strategy when you don't know if fifty points is a significant amount or if it's completely minuscule. While it's all speculation of course, I'd definitely be interested in seeing all of your opinions.

Thanks in advance and good luck in your build!
