Someone will have to ask the GDC if this is the interpretation that they intended when this rule was revised.

G22 is under the 3.1.5 END GAME section, which begins:

<G18> All TELEOPERATED PERIOD rules apply, except as modified in this section.

Clearly, G22 applies to the end game period only.

If they need to clarify anything, it's what will happen when a high carrying HOSTBOT fails to lower the MINIBOT before the END GAME begins.
