This observation received very little attention in this thread. Could it be a significant factor in the reliability of the triggering?

It seems it would be possible for it to bind on the pole, especially if the contact point between minibot and plate is far off-center causing the plate to tilt. Does anyone know what is the coefficient of friction between polycarbonate and galvanized(?) steel?
