Popis:	The allocation of tasks to members of a team is a well-studied problem in robotics. Applying market-based mechanisms, particularly auctions, is a popular solution. We focus on evaluating the performance of the team when executing the tasks that have been allocated. The work presented here examines the impact of one such factor, namely task duration. Building on prior work, a new bidding strategy and performance metric are introduced. Experimental results are presented showing that there are statistically significant differences in both time and distance-based performance metrics when tasks have zero vs greater-than-zero duration.
