can you imagine four bots doing that at the start of a match, in auton mode, when the drivers cant do anything to avoid entanglement?
if the mouse-bot is made similar to most of the ones made in 02, then the wires would be enclosed in some sort of rigid structure (a la, 25's, 312's, 57's, etc..)
while the mouse bot may (and probably will) be run over during auto mode, it would be very difficult for it to become an entaglement hazard. the one possible problem that could arise is if the mini-bot got knocked off course, and some how exited the field, causing the main bot to be disabled.
