Re: Minibot Stored Energy

Quote:
<G19> means that HOSTBOTS are not allowed to launch the MINIBOT up the pole at the TARGET, or otherwise contribute to the vertical movement of the MINIBOT. Energy for vertical movement may not be stored in the MINIBOT before DEPLOYMENT (except that which is contained within the battery and excluding incidental kinetic energy stored in the motors or wheels, but NOT, for example, in a flywheel).
So would it be possible to, before deployment, use some of the minibot's battery to power ... something ... and store energy? It seems like it would to me, as long as that power originated from the minibot's battery.
