My argument isn't circular. You're hung up on the 4N number. The game rules don't mention it. The ARENA description does, but it does not say that it's an upper limit. It suggests it's a lower limit.

You've been in FIRST long enough to know that the ARENA doesn't always behave the way the manual suggests that it might.

I guess we'll find out in a few days how our minibot does. I expect we'll probably have to play with the off switch, if we can get it to deploy legally. Should be interesting.
