Default Time/Dwell Requirement to Activate Minibot Trigger

With any electro-mechanical contact closure that is sensed by a programmable control system, there is both a force component required to perform the closure, and a time/dwell component for the control system to register the closure. The Competition Manual provided the force component necessary to activate the minibot trigger contacts, but did not provide the time/dwell required for this contact to register with the FMS. What is the minimum length of time that the specified force (2N-4N) must be applied to the trigger plate in order to be recorded/registered by the FMS?
