Mike, I agree with you. Our limited human resources were spread so thin this year that the minibot had slipped to the end of the priority list after the full sized bot. We just got one running this week, and were lucky enough to get good enough results to where we just need to test and tune.

Our deployment system will most likely be some sort of stick though, since we don't really have weight for much else...
