Well, unless you used a NON-metallic rope or cord for a spring (i dont know how you would, feel free to let me know) you could not use a spring; also, that would be pretty hard because your minibot has to stay in contact with the pole throughout. So
1. it'd be hard to make a non-metallic spring
2. it'd be hard to make a non-metallic spring with a enough force to get to the top
3. it'd be hard to make a non-metallic spring with a enough force to get to the top while touching the pole, which would impede in some way on the upward speed
Happy to help,
