1:~3:30
2-4: >3:10
5-6: >3:05
This may be a little high considering it's a racquetball court and teams tend to have issues running into walls

Is the 3:30 an estimate from Troy? I've heard they've got in that range.

No that was mainly based off of some Michigan teams being that high. I may have underestimated the top times, but I know a few teams will have conservative flights--at least for their first flight--to avoid hitting a wall at the higher torques.

The Michigan teams with those high scores didn't make it to Nationals.

Anyone getting over a 3:00 is doing great and has a chance to medal in my opinion

This is true but it is an indicator that there are probably a handful of team who did make it to nats with times that high.

What was the raw time for the national winner last year?

It was around 2:20-2:30ish (can't remember exactly). However, that year didn't have a chinook bonus - and chinooks allow for a more stable copter if built correctly, in my opinion at least.

Larger rotors allow for longer times. Idk about stability but they are not as good about bouncing off of walls.
