<G19>

[mastoll]

So, we have a lot of "I think this is what it means." When we question a rule like this, is it up to conjecture, or at some point will a rule-maker come in and confirm our suspicions? Who speaks with true authority here?

In summary, the strongest suspicion regarding rule G19 so far is that
1) if you DON'T attempt to depoly a minibot, you're fine, no penalty
2) if you DO attempt to deploy a minibot and something goes awry (i.e. it doesn't attach to the pole, it falls off, it isn't autonomous) there is a penalty.
