Can the robotic arm lift robotic mini robot up the pole?

[bearbot]

look at the rule on deployment of the robot

only up to 18 inches <G19>

If the robotic arm does not attach to the HOSTBOT and is only powered by the MINIBOT motors/battery source, then yes a robotic arm can lift the MINIBOT (subject to the 12" rule & allowed materials).

A minibot with monkey arms is legal so long as it uses allowed materials -- nothing says it MUST use wheels to climb.

(Just in case we misread the question)

It probably wouldn't be very efficient though.
