Re: Minibot Stored Energy
If it's purely for decoration, you may get away with it. Technically, using stored energy to move anything vertically relative to the robot is against the rules. The antenna sticking up does move the center of gravity of the minibot up and should be recognized as contributing to the vertical movent of the robot, especially if this antenna wold be used to contact the plate at the top.
