Once the path is removed, have the minibot tell the path-follower where to go to have it retrace the recorded path.

PS: The minibot might be a camera on a tall stick at the beginning of the path, if that camera can see the entire path.

PPS: The minibot might be a camera on a tall stick that is atop the path-following vehicle. Does the terrain close to the path contain discernable landmarks/features?
I like the idea of the minibot which can watch it from a height. Are their any systems for this that might already exist. For this you are saying that a camera watching over the whole work space can trace its path and then guide it over that path in the future? The camera will obviously have to communicate to the robot wirelessly to make that functional. Is there any more information on this. It sounds like it might be able to work.
