Re: Minibot

OK, that being said:
Quote:
<G19> After DEPLOYMENT, MINIBOTS must remain completely autonomous. Violation: The TOWER on which the MINIBOT is DEPLOYED is diabled. If the MINIBOT is not deployed on a TOWER, then the ALLIANCE’s TOWER upon which the highest RACE SCORE was earned will be discounted.

Interference by an ALLIANCE refers to any action taken by that ALLIANCE that results in disruption of the MINIBOT’s progress. This may include, but is not limited to,

a) throwing a GAME PIECE at the MINIBOT/TOWER,
b) driving a ROBOT or GAME PIECE into the TOWER, or
c) directly contacting the MINIBOT or TOWER.

An example of unsafe operation would be uncontrolled motion that cannot be
stopped by the DRIVERS.
(Emphasis mine)

This may be controversial, but if I launch a minibot mechanically (e.g. with a spring), is that "uncontrolled motion that cannot be stopped by the drivers"? If so, it is "unsafe" and not allowed.

(Yes, I know that even the 'conventional' minibots shown at kickoff couldn't be stopped either).
