So (if I am right) I think your question is irrelevant?

As I understand it, the nature of the ramp would allow the minibot moving itself, to the pole, to be at the best speed possible when it actually climbs the pole unlike other deployments where the minibot sits there possibly on until it hits the pole. A car already in motion moves faster than a car that has to beat inertia and then go for example.
