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

Since deploymnet is defined as the act of positioning the minibot on the tower, then when the minibot is so positioned, deployment is complete.
Note: many of us have been using pole/tower interchangeably when speaking of deployment, but I don't see any point in setting a minibot on the base and having to figure out how to get itself on the pole.

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.

Um, if a minibot is designed to simply keep climbing forever, won't it spend most of its short life stalling out its motors at the top of the tower? Or at least wearing ruts in its wheels? Or both? Teams won't be allowed to just jump on the field when the match is over, it could be a minute or two while refs confer.
