The time makes it very difficult to do. Deploy (you've already lined up), cross, line up, deploy, and assume defense slows you down during the crossing (because messing with a robot contacting a base is an automatic DQ). Can the second minibot make it up before the score won't be counted?

Question for Q&A: Given the many last-second minibot deployments, will a minibot that reaches the top after the buzzer still count? Personally, I'd go with "yes" (<G68>), up until 10 seconds (same rule). That makes the chance of 2 much more feasible, but then you have to worry about legality of 2 minibots.
