3. Are we allowed to touch the tower base before the final 10 seconds?
Thanks for any help.

Key words: Minibot deployment line tower pole period 10 seconds teleoperated base floor
During Teleop:
<G17> HOSTBOTS may not DEPLOY a MINIBOT. Violation: TOWER is disabled.

You can contact the tower before 10 seconds. Just make sure the minibot doesn't cross, or the referees will probably call that deployment and disable the tower.
