Re: Coopertition points for borrowing minibot

That would leave a team without a possible scoring source and very little time to repair it and have it re-inspected before their next match. The breakage factor seems all the more likely given the emphasis and premium being placed on lightness for the minibots.
There is no one size fits all deployment system that is going to work with every minibot and the teams that won't build the minibot probably won't have the knowledge or ability to build a deployment system either.
I would not be surprised if there weren't many (or any) teams that will be able to take advantage of the loaner program.
