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

DEPLOYMENT – the act of positioning a MINIBOT on a TOWER. DEPLOYMENT starts when the MINIBOT breaks the vertical projection of the TOWER BASE circumference. DEPLOYMENT ends when the HOSTBOT is no longer in contact with the MINIBOT. (Related form, DEPLOY, verb)

<G19> MINIBOTS must remain completely autonomous and move up the POST solely through electric energy provided after DEPLOYMENT by the permitted, unaltered battery and converted to mechanical energy by the permitted unaltered motors (and associated, appropriate circuitry).

Thus G19 says you cannot transfer electric energy from your minibot battery into your motors until "deployment" is complete...."deployment" is not complete until you are no longer touching your minibot. We're spending quite a bit of time and energy making sure we are no longer touching minibot when the juice starts flowing......have I read too much into this?

Does G22 really mean that after you trip the switch, and your mini comes down, that it cannot touch your hostbot with incurring a penalty?

<G22> HOSTBOTS may not contact their ALLIANCE‟S MINIBOT once any part of it has climbed above the DEPLOYMENT LINE.
Suggest you shoot this one to Q and A asap! And share the outcome on CD for those who don't check the Q and A religiously...
