Greetings,
Today my team worked on our minibot deployment system. We finally came up with a design that we thought would work and proceeded to build a full scale prototype. As you can see from the attached videos, it didn't work out as well as we had hoped.

I hope you get a good laugh out of this. We sure did.
We are taking the reliable >> speed approach for the minibot. Give us another week and we'll have something that i think will be very dependable.
