Question on Rules G42 and about Minibots

Hi. Colin Kulsa here with Team 3218 in Washington. I was looking over the rule book when came across Rule G42:

"ROBOTS, MINIBOTS, or HOSTBOTS may not intentionally detach parts or leave MECHANISMS on the FIELD (with the exception of appropriate DEPLOYMENT of the MINIBOT)."

I had the idea of using a Minibot as a functional piece of the Hostbot (like how the giant machines of power rangers were comprised of individual vehicles linked together [best example I could think of]) and then having this said piece detach and climb the pole autonomously. Would this be against the rules?

Additionally in the Minibot line of question yet completley tangental: Would a minibot potentially be allowed to FLY up the pole instead of climb? I know this would be far more complex and therefore not worth pursuing, however, I thought I might ask.
