Re: Minibot deployment

IMHO the key is in the alignment, and being ready to deploy ahead of time. We used a piece of 8020 with a slide, and a lexan 'V' at the end, so we could align with the pole prior to the 10 second endgame, and be ready to deploy.

Other successful methods included arms that swung out to hit the pole, so they were self aligning.
