Your catapult would have to have a lever that would stop with the top of the minibot below the deployment line, because:
DEPLOYMENT – the act of positioning a MINIBOT on a TOWER. DEPLOYMENT starts when the MINIBOT breaks the vertical projection of the TOWER BASE circumference during the END GAME. (Related form, DEPLOY, verb)
<G22> HOSTBOTS may not contact their ALLIANCE’S MINIBOT once it has climbed above the DEPLOYMENT LINE. Violation: TOWER is disabled
So yeah, don't try it.
Also:
When reading these rules, please use technical commonsense (engineering thinking) rather than "lawyering" the interpretation and splitting hairs over the precise wording in an attempt to find loopholes. Try to understand the reasoning behind a rule.
Don't mix up innovation with wanting to beat the system. As long as you understand that, keep ideaing away!
