Only if the minibot never exceeds 12" x 12" x 12". That doesn't allow for much in the way of rope dangling down.

We had thought of a small mechanical lever that, when the minibot hits the top, releases a cord we can pull after the match to retrieve the minibot, but this would have the minibot larger than 12", and so was ruled out. We decided to stick with the pole-mounted chainsaw.
