It seems to me that all you need to do is position yourself in your LANE and square up on the TOWER while thus safely ensconced, and then your opponent CANNOT defend against your MINIBOT DEPLOYMENT, because if they enter into your LANE and then touch another ROBOT (e.g., yours), then they get a RED CARD.
