Our guide system involved 2 rods going up and holding the minibot. If you have a similar system that keeps the minibot oriented correctly WHILE it's moving up the tower, you're going to need to cut it down so that your minibot is not in contact with the upward pole after it gets above the deployment line.
We have a PVC shaft attached to our minibot, that slides into the guide, and the second end of the guide holds it nearer to the tower. I'd try to get a picture, but I really do not have access to our minibot until next monday (or whenever our mentors want to meet to work on the robot again for battlecry.
