Maybe. Another interpretation could be that DEPLOYMENT ends when the MINIBOT loses contact with the HOSTBOT. It's not defined in the rules.

D) Get the hostbot out of the way so that when the minibot comes hurtling down after, it doesn't hit the hostbot and incur a penalty (making contact after deployment).
Teams, don't forget this!

But for the love of god, if you decide to build a physical climbing robot, make it go in reverse after 10 seconds to make your life and the volunteers life easy.
Please, please, please! At least have a switch somewhere on the bottom of your MINIBOT that can be used to reverse the motors after the match ends. Bring a pole to hit the switch.
