Good idea.
I suggest that we need to decompose the problem and at least describe these requirements:
1. envelope/modular shape for the MB.
2. delivery platform & temporary fastening approach (so MB stays put until it is deployed). Maybe the platform even includes a box which is just larger than the size of item 1.
3. execution: e.g. platform extends, then a 'pusher' slides the MB forward onto the pole and retracts.
4. MB recognizes contact w pole and starts up on its own.

Or ...
Platform extends fwd, latches a very small piece of FTC legal metal to the pole (minimalist Minibot) and spring launches the MB up the pole.
