KISS is alive and well for minibot deployment. Here's a video of our (3729) drawer slide deployment tray doing it's thing. As you can see the minibot is held on the tray with vertical 5/16 inch pins that engage 3/8 inch tubes on the minibot. As you can see the complete deployment and climb take about 2 secs.
