Re: Minibot Strategy & Etiquette

The amount of time required to align with the tower is also a factor. For an alliance with three comparable deploy/climb times, the one with the fastest alignment should be backup. If your backup can't get from where it is and deploy in about 5 seconds, you really don't have a backup.

Also, how much faith do you have in your alliance partners' self-reported minibot times? Personally, I think ours is alright, but I don't have high confidence in the accuracy of our hand-held stopwatch data. We hope to visit 2081's tower so we can report something a bit more objective.
