Re: Minibot

In the introduction section of the manual, the definition of DEPLOYMENT is :

"DEPLOYMENT-- the act of positioning a MINIBOT on the TOWER. DEPLOYMENT starts when the MINIBOT breaks the vertical projection of the TOWER BASE circumference during the END GAME."

This seems to say that once it enters the platform, the minibot counts as being deployed if it is "positioned" or attached to the tower somehow. So if you interpret it that way, it means you can't shoot a minibot at the sensor, because it wouldn't get positioned on the tower. Just my $0.02. Someone on my team also suggested popping a little minibot out at the sensor, like a tennis ball machine, and this was my rebuttal.
