Our team is having trouble posting questions so I was hoping some one here might have asked. Any help would be appreciated.
Weird, I found an answer in the Q/A fine.

GDC: Per the definition of TRIGGERED, once the disk sensors are tripped, the MINIBOT RACE on that TOWER is complete. Therefore, the MINIBOT does not need to stay at the top of the tower. It is encouraged that you design your MINIBOT so that it's easily retrieved at the end of the MATCH.
