Re: Minibot Deployment Brainstorm!
We are using pneumatics to push our bot onto the pole. For now, we can get it onto the pole by forcing it (the wheels are tensioned by rubber band and can be pushed open by forcing the minibot onto the pole and then it springs back to "grab" the pole (simple X design).

Edit: the distance traveled on the pole is 49" in case you were wondering.
