The versability of a deployment mechanism is what will make or break the mini-bot, it may climb it in one second however if it's not at the pole it isn't going anywhere. Reliability will be a key factor.

A 1 sec mini-bot will be done is my guess.
Agreed.

The deployment is the key to having a successful minibot. After many posts and speculation, I'm still undecided on whether or not we'll see one. . . until championships. It'll take some refining and a hard study on balance but it is hypothetically obtainable (if not already).
