I don't see an official definition of FORCE in the rules.

I would be fine winning a match because my opposition built a minibot that beat ours up the pole, but failed to TRIGGER the TARGET, which is what the rules require it to do. The rules do not make any exceptions.

I guess the thing to do is ask the head ref at our next regional whether they will be calling minibot races based on the rules, or something else.
