<G40> ROBOTS or HOSTBOTS may not exceed PLAYING CONFIGURATION at any time.
Violation: PENALTY

From the definitions:

ROBOT – the composite electromechanical assembly designed and built by a FRC team to perform specific tasks when competing in the 2011 competition LogoMotion. The ROBOT must include all the basic systems required to be an active participant in the game – power, communications, control, mobility, and actuation. The ROBOT implementation must obviously follow a design approach intended to play the 2011 FRC game (e.g. a box of unassembled parts placed on the FIELD, or a ROBOT designed to play a different game, would not satisfy this definition). The ROBOT includes both the HOSTBOT and the MINIBOT (ROBOT = HOSTBOT + MINIBOT).

(emphasis mine)
Since the MINIBOT is a part of the ROBOT, does this mean that the HOSTBOT must remain close to the TOWER after DEPLOYING the MINIBOT? Else, <G40> would be violated.
