If they need to clarify anything, it's what will happen when a high carrying HOSTBOT fails to lower the MINIBOT before the END GAME begins.
I think Jack and Gary's points both imply a need for more clarification from the GDC. On Jack's point: What if a team stores their Minibot high (say on a ramp) and decides not to deploy it (and never comes near a tower once the END GAME commences)? Because as the rule is written now that would clearly be a violation. But I find it difficult to believe that this is the intention of the GDC.
