In reality this is a really stupid product, like $189 for what is basically a $30 Chinese drone with a LEGO frame.

...I somewhat agree. It's not really stupid, IMO, just overpriced. There are special LEGO bricks to hold the motors(maybe why they're so expensive?), but you could get a cheap Chinese drone and just rebuild it out of LEGO. Though the kit does make it easier, but not worth nearly $200.

I Apologize in advance for my horrible drawing I did in 2 minutes.

I think you might be on to something. The opposing corner objects look familiar(FTC). But I think(at least, I hope) the minibots, if they exist, will actually fly. Possibly with balloons or helicopters/drones with protected rotors. Or maybe some sort of short-distance plane...wait. I think I've got it! It will be one of those gliders that you charge and throw, with a capacitor to run the prop, but it only lasts for a few seconds. Something done in the regular game will "fuel" these planes, and then they'll be launched during endgame. Score will be determined by distance, max height, and/or flight duration.
