Re: Do minibots need to stay at the top of the pole?
<R101>If a MINIBOT is rejected by inspectors due to a safety issue or concern related to the team’s method of storing energy, the concerned items must be disabled or removed from the MINIBOT before it can compete in a MATCH. The team bears the burden of proof that such a rejection is not valid. Teams should be prepared to provide justifiable test data or calculations during inspection to support their design.

I'm sure they can easily use that rule to disqualify any robot using "unsafe" methods of energy storage.
