Re: Deployment Brainstorm
Ours sounds very similar. Two 1.5 inch vertical pins on HOSTBOT deployment platform, PVC tubes on MINIBOT. One of the pin/tube setups had a horizontal locking pin though a hole in both the tube and pin which was attached to the HOSTBOT via strong cord so that the pin pulled out 'just in time' At setup, excess string was bunched up and secured with a loose zip tie so that it didn't mess with the HOSTBOT or otherwise get tangled.

Worked extremely well.
