No it doesn't.

It starts at the top of all 4 poles. How, you ask? Simple, really. It's Andy Baker's minibot.


Andy Baker's robot has the following capabilities:
1) steal all 6 ubertubes in automode and place them all across the top row.
2) Grab all the logo pieces from his alliance's feeders and score them, top, bottom, middle.
3) Repeat for opponent's logo pieces, middle, top, bottom (gotta get seeding points somehow, you know)
4) Blocks opposing robots at their towers until the endgame.
5) Deploys minibot to the top of the pole at the precise instant that deployment can begin. It then travels partner, opponent, opponent, own pole before the opponent's minibots even think about moving.

Oh, and for the record: The mecanum/omni/nona/6WD drop-omni combination drive has yet to be equaled by anybody. It's also a swerve drive.

Please note: this robot has yet to enter teleoperated period. Andy Baker's gotten lots of coopertition points without his partners or opponents even carrying a minibot.
