Question Robot handling on field

Many robots will be using the worm gear drives to control arms and claws. Since these cannot be back driven manually how do we put the robot back into a transportable configuration after a match? In the shop we connect the arm motors to a portable battery and run it back to position manually. Would this be legal under the safety rule <R17> that say the robot cannot be powered up after a match?
