Watch you do, if the spring is still connected to the minibot once it crosses deployment line, you're sunk.

HOSTBOTS may not contact their ALLIANCE’S MINIBOT once it has climbed above the DEPLOYMENT LINE.

That's a very small window of firing room. You would probably have to put something in place to stop your spring after a point.
