Re: Do minibots need to stay at the top of the pole?

I can't see anything that says we HAVE to use the battery and motors. I do see the list of parts that we are allowed to use. I don't see anything that says that, out of those parts, something in particular is required for it to be a legal minibot. As long as the propulsion device is on that list (even if it's a rubber band or surgical tubing), it looks like we can use it.

If there is a rule that explains this further, I seemed to have missed it, and I'd appreciate it if it was cited :/

We were wondering if the minibot had to stay at the top as well. Everyone was asking, and I just kept responding "NOBODY KNOWS." and that it was a great Q&A question.
