Re: Minibot Falling off pole - Penalty?

If it falls off before the end buzzer I can think perhaps
Quote:
<G42> ROBOTS, MINIBOTS, or HOSTBOTS may not intentionally detach parts or leave MECHANISMS on the FIELD (with the exception of appropriate DEPLOYMENT of the MINIBOT). Violation: PENALTY for each incident and potential RED CARD if an intentionally detached COMPONENT or MECHANISM impedes MATCH play.
BUT Only if combined with
Quote:
<G46> MINIBOTS may only be used to climb the TOWER. Violation: YELLOW CARD
The theory here is that a minibot on the carpet is not being used to climb the tower, but that's specious at best.

Alternatively, if the minibot falls far enough from the HOSTBOT
Quote:
<G40> ROBOTS or HOSTBOTS may not exceed PLAYING CONFIGURATION at any time. Violation: PENALTY for unintentional, momentary violations. RED CARD for intentional or continuous violations.
This was never called at NJ
