Re: Is the minibot independent from the FMS?

While there are ways to retrieve the minibot without making it come back down, making it come down is a lot easier and safer than trying to get up to it.

Something for the Q&A: Do you really need to do this?
Say your team built a custom, non-robot mounted stick with a Minibot size net on the end. You reach up with your stick and whack your minibot loose, falling into your stick's net. The Minibot is removed from the pole not under its own power. Is this legal?
