Unless your robot is destroying the pipe or other field elements, no DQ.
Now, the chainsaw statement was a little harsh...

This means that if your robot is going to stay at the top of the pole until retrieved, you have problems. The competitions have very short cycle times. You will have 10 or 15 seconds to remove your robot. You will not be allowed to bring ladders into the field to remove your minibot. If the field crew needs to "assist" you in removing your minibot, they may break it in the process.
Do yourself a favor and insure that your robot is easily removed...

Mike
