Sorry, yeah I didn't clarify this. Imagine a candy cane, thats what it would look like. Forcing them to deploy from within their lane would significantly handicap many robots. It would slow down their deploy them, and make them start moving for deployment earlier. Teams that cap til the last second would probably have to sacrifice a tube or 2 for a minibot.

I saw the hook of the cane blocking teams from accessing the tower from the narrow slot, and then blocking a good portion of the lane.

So if you were able to keep a robot to 1 logo, and then handicap their deployment, it may boost your value significantly
