There's even more to the deployment device than your question brings up. Suppose 1918 and 85 decide to swap MINIBOTS to get some Coopertition points. Each team's unique MINIBOT requires some kind of unique deployment device. Since each of you built a HOSTBOT with your own deployer, you now must meet the weight restrictions with the weight of both your deployer and 85's deployer added together. See this paragraph in <R11> and the following blue box with some examples.

When determining weight, the basic ROBOT structure and all elements of all additional mechanisms that might be used in different configurations of the ROBOT shall be weighed together. Included in the weight limit are the robot control system, decorations, and all other attached parts.
