To me, that is pretty clear. The chase sequence, and therefore the chance for a minibot to trigger the tower, ends when the clock hits 0. The mini-bot will certainly be able to continue climbing to hit the target, but it will not be able to trigger it to score points. Yes?
That blue box is not a rule. However: The rules (<G68>) CLEARLY state that objects in motion (which could easily include the minibots) have 10 seconds to come to rest or score. I've gone through this before. If that blue box is a rule, they're gonna have to resolve the discrepancy by either revising the blue box or by declaring an exception to the other rule for the Minibot.

The only way to resolve this is by asking them and pointing out the contradiction.
