Re: Mini Bots

I asked two separate GDC members at Manchester this very question. They indicated that there was no need for the mini-bots to stay in contact with the plate once the switch was closed. The field only looked for the switch states to change, and immediately 'scores' the mini-bot accordingly.

An official statement and rule update will be forthcoming, I'm sure, but for now I am operating under the assumption that the minibot does not need to remain in contact or supporting the plate.
