Minibot Stored Energy

The problem is storing enough energy in 9 or fewer seconds to hit the target with 2-4N of force in 1 second after release, by using the FTC motors.

Even if you store the energy in the system before the match ends. Say about...30 seconds before the match ends, the minibot uses its motors/battery to build potential energy. Then, after deployment, it's using its own electrical energy converted to mechanical energy in the form of potential energy to propel itself up the pole.
