Re: Do minibots need to stay at the top of the pole?

I have been searching the Q&A site to see if anyone has posted the question of whether the minibot has to stay at the top of the pole, but can't find it. I am concerned, based on the damage stalling these motors does, about trying to keep the bot at the top of the pole. Our team is having trouble posting questions so I was hoping some one here might have asked. Any help would be appreciated.
