With the tube and pin design I mentioned before the minibot lifts itself off the pins when it contacts the tower and begins to climb. That way if the deployment system comes out to early, you don't lose the minbot!

Beth,
1114 uses a 1/4 inch ball spring pin which holds the minibot on a small nylon block, if the holes are right the only way to get the pin out is to pull it, it wont come out on its own due to the spring loaded ball at the end. Simple and effective!
