I think that if you store some energy (like elastic through rubbers i.e.) on your ROBOT to launch your MINIBOT, it won't be autonomous.

The launching thought has come up SO many times, but the ruling as far as minibots after being deployed states that:

So it's dependent on whatever GDC defines 'climb' as.

<R92> Does not necessarily rule out springs. Part J says that you can have:
non-metallic rope or cord.
But yeah, refer to <R92> for all the FTC bot components that are usable.
