At 10.00, you just drive into the tower with your already extended minibot and call it a day. Deployment time doesn't really come into play there.
If that's your plan, be ready for the opponent robots to absolutely crush you at 12 seconds. One little push and you lose your alignment. I have a feeling that any good deployment system will need to have error correction built in to be effective at competition.
