Minibot Deployment Time

[Team 1339]

Do we have only 10 seconds to deploy the minibot and have it climb the pole? or do we have 10 seconds for deployment and then another 10 seconds for it to climb the pole?

[EricH]

You may deploy with 10 seconds or less left in the match. After the match ends (time hits zero or all 4 towers trigger), the 10-second "come to rest" countdown begins. If a Minibot triggers the target within that "come to rest" period, it will count.

[TD912]

10 seconds for everything: this means you must deploy and climb within this time.

See the text block after <G02>, rules <G17> through <G35>, and Section 3.1.5.

<G17> in particular does not allow you to deploy a minibot before the END GAME.

The END GAME is the:
10 seconds before the end of the MATCH, when HOSTBOTS may DEPLOY their MINIBOT without penalty
