As with other portions of Team Update #6, this Minibot retrieval rule leaves some room for interpretation.

What does everyone think of this: If you actually carried a "retrieval stick" or gaff-like device on your hostbot throughout the match (and subjected it to Robot Inspection with the rest of your machine), would this device actually qualify as "special equipment"??? Or, we could be creative and make a long section of our Bumpers have a hook (also known as attachment hardware) that we could hook our Minibot with to pull it down...

If your retrieval stick is part of your Hostbot/Robot (even though without function during the match) could it be considered "special"?

Comments welcome but a GDC Q&A might be in order.
