A fix creates a problem ...
Post Team Update #1:

So now the MINIBOT can't begin to move upwards until after it is no longer in contact with the HOSTBOT. Moving upward to break that contact is not valid. |

Re: A fix creates a problem ...
My interpretation is that the MINIBOT can move autonomously or by the power of the HOSTBOT before deployment but once deployed it can't have any energy imparted on it by the HOSTBOT. The rules does not state the how the MINIBOT must move while attached to the HOSTBOT just how it most move after.
The Q&A will be the final wording but that is how I few this rule change. So in this case the HOSTBOT could lift the MINIBOT to the DEPLOYMENT LINE but then the MINIBOT would climb off the HOSTBOT and continue up the pole after DEPLOYMENT. |

Re: A fix creates a problem ...
I know during the animation it was said that minibots should not be deployed before the endgame begins, lest the tower become disabled. I cannot for the life of me find that rule in the manual.
Would one of you be so kind as to point me that way? |

<G19> MINIBOTS must remain completely autonomous and move up the POST solely through electric energy provided after DEPLOYMENT by the permitted, unaltered battery and converted to mechanical energy by the permitted unaltered motors (and associated, appropriate circuitry). Violation: The TOWER on which the MINIBOT is DEPLOYED is disabled. If the MINIBOT is DEPLOYED on something other than a TOWER, then the ALLIANCE’S TOWER upon which the highest RACE SCORE was earned will be discounted. <G19> means that HOSTBOTS are not allowed to launch the MINIBOT up the pole at the TARGET, or otherwise contribute to the vertical movement of the MINIBOT. Energy for vertical movement may not be stored in the MINIBOT before DEPLOYMENT (except that which is contained within the battery and excluding incidental kinetic energy stored in the motors or wheels, but NOT, for example, in a flywheel). |
