Ok I know this is coming a little late, but i don't know if the whole shoot the bot up the pole is completely legal. I say this b/c i found out that compressing air inside a tube of PVC isnt legal. i dont know if shooting the bot will work well at all, simply because you need to line the shoot up, and get a correct power/weight ratio. mess that up and you wont hit the button. too much and you could miss. also with surgical tubing, it wears out after awhile. go into too many rounds and you minibot will start to fail. all in all, if you can create a system that would shoot the bot up, and then catch and climb the pole, shoot me a line @
