I understand that the robot isn't in the lane, its just that the rationale made it kind of contradictory, but i know what you meant now.

As for the deployment situation, the hostbot was in contact with the other one, not necessarily the deployment system. but i guess, you could argue that the robot caused the contact with the other one.
Thanks Gary,
