My interpretation is that the MINIBOT can move autonomously or by the power of the HOSTBOT before deployment but once deployed it can't have any energy imparted on it by the HOSTBOT. The rules does not state the how the MINIBOT must move while attached to the HOSTBOT just how it most move after.

The Q&A will be the final wording but that is how I few this rule change.

So in this case the HOSTBOT could lift the MINIBOT to the DEPLOYMENT LINE but then the MINIBOT would climb off the HOSTBOT and continue up the pole after DEPLOYMENT.
