Can someone clarify for me, where the minibot and hostbot can be during the last 15-10 seconds of the game?

Good luck with that. We had ref's saying you could not touch/break that cylinder plane at kettering, and NO bot could touch you once you were in the act of deploying.
However at A2 they would allow crossing the cylinder plane during the yellow lighted time AND a robot could slam into you during this period of time with no penalty.
So I suggest asking for clarification at your next drivers meeting. We will be asking at the the Michigan State Championships this week on how they will rule on this.
Come on First let's be consistent.
