[RMS11]

Here is our minibot prototype. We plan to manufacture the final version in the next week (which should be, we hope, at least 1 second faster). As is, it starts when it touched the pole (has that option although not displayed in video for timing purposes), goes up in about 2.5 seconds, and comes back down on its own. We plan to cut weight, and have some other tricks up our sleeve.
