I see nothing in the rules indicating that Minibots must stay at the top of the pole once it is reached. That would be a good Q&A question when it opens.

Contact force is approximately 2-4 Newtons:

A minimum contact force of approximately 2-4 Newtons, depending on contact location, is required to ensure the contact sensors in the TARGET trip reliably.
From section 2.2.5
