Do minibots need to stay at the top of the pole?

based on the results of the GDC ruling on this, i foresee two possible outcomes: either a lot of broken polycarb plates from minibots running into them too quickly, or minibots exiting the arena after blasting through the scoring plate, if they dont need to remain in contact with them. one idea we had was to use springs to jettison something very light and more of just a mechanism than a "minibot" which would hit the plate.
