I wanted to believe!
In all seriousness, the rules as originally written had left the door so wide open for flinging a minibot (that is attached to the pole) up with some sort of HOSTBOT mechanism that I was almost convinced it was on purpose. Within seconds of seeing the minibot race, our team was already talking about ways to fire a "minibox" up in under a second, so I had a hard time believing that nobody on the GDC had the same idea.
But you're right, clearly FIRST wanted to see FTC robots on those poles...
