Does anyone know if the manual specifies the procedure for removing a robot off of the rings on the tower after a match? Is there going to be any field crew, like in Ulitimate Ascent, that will help lower the robots?

I wouldn't think so since we didn't have one in 2010 where robots were going about as high.

DRIVE TEAMS may not cause significant or repeated delays to the start of a MATCH and/or to the
FIELD reset at the conclusion of the MATCH.
Violation: If prior to the MATCH, the offending DRIVE TEAM’S ROBOT will be DISABLED. If after the
MATCH, YELLOW CARD
ROBOTS will not be re-enabled after the conclusion of the MATCH, nor will Teams be permitted
to tether to the ROBOT except in special circumstances (e.g. during TIMEOUTS, after Opening
Ceremonies, etc.) and with the express permission from the FTA or a REFEREE.
Violation: YELLOW CARD

Those are the only 2 that come to mind at the moment, but I can't imagine that there will be much help beyond that. The solution back in 2010 was simply have a taller drive team.
