Catapulting minibot

[Grim Tuesday]

Assuming that this is possible to aim/trajectory correctly, is this legal:

Your robot is 30 inches tall (the exact height of the deployment line). Recessed in it, is the minibot, which is catapulted, with whatever method from the robot up to the height of 60 inches, and then continues to the top.

Is this legal?

The reason I ask this, is that I can't find any rule that states that it is not. Although "deploy" is clearly defined, it is never defined that a robot must deploy the minibot in the deployment zone.

<G20> ROBOTS/HOSTBOTS may not contact their own TOWERS above the DEPLOYMENT LINE.
Violation: PENALTY for contact. TOWER is disabled if MINIBOT is DEPLOYED above the
DEPLOYMENT LINE.

But does this mean deployed if it is not touching the robot when it touches the area above the line?
