1) Launching minibots--is it legal under a) free flight or b) tethered to the pole?

2) Minibots at the top of the pole: Do they have to stay there until after the match, or can they slide down during the match to make retrieval easier?

3) Are you allowed to move your own tubes, other than ubertubes, around after they are in scoring position?
1) a)/b) im not exactly sure what you're asking but i do know that the minibots can be launched, they always have to touch the pole, and once they cross the deployment line you cannot touch them (if thats what you mean by tethered)
2) No they do not, as long as they hit the pressure-like sensor (2-4 newtons of force btw)
3) As far as i know, you are allowed to. although you really shouldnt have to
