You misunderstood the point I was making, which was simply that if the minibot starts at a point on the hostbot above the height of the deployment line on the tower pole, then the conversion of this stored potential energy into kinetic during the downward movement on the hostbot track could in theory add to the upward motion of the minibot on the pole. I wasn't suggesting this was legal or suggesting it as a design strategy.
