Which to my understanding is as soon as the mini bot or deployment like device is anywhere over the base.

I was trying to figure this out as well, and it seems kind of confusing.
Launching the mini bot from the hostbot is a little.. erm sketch. I was more referring to the mini bot having its own energy storage device and using that somehow to propel itself up.
