I assume you're referring to the 3rd point under why to design for the bump.

This is true, but it does have to be deployed. And whether by motor or pneumatics (or some other system), there will be some chance for the system to fail. Like last year, with the minibots. If a team had a pneumatically powered deployment system, and a pneumatic tube got loose or for some other reason that team lost air pressure, the team would be unable to deploy their minibot. The minibot itself was still functional, but useless since it couldn't be conveyed to the pole. Same case here. The mechanism itself may be passive, but the system by which it is deployed may have a chance of failure.
