You need a brain to design and build the robot but not to run it...no, you don't need the NXT if you make use of the 2 allowed standard light switches.

You are exactly right. All you need is a light switch facing upward on the top of the mini bot to stop it once it hits the top of the pole and one that is pushed when the minibot is "attached" to the pole and ready to go up. Simple circuitry
