Re: Minibot
You can also read that rule as you are permitted to have exactly one battery, or, If we use a battery it must be exactly one of this type.
For the record, there are mechanically autonomous things. For example, certain types of clocks, mousetrap cars, Rube Goldberg machines (in general).
I would suggest that any Minibot attached to the pole is not undergoing uncontrolled motion, unless it's going from top to bottom and back again at extremely high speed. The motion is perfectly constrained and all you need is something to stop it.
