So we know that either FRC or FTC teams can present MINIBOTs for inspection.
Eligibility of walk-on MINIBOTs does not appear to be defined by the Manual.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
