I'm in the pits, or accessing the NXT before the match (or after the match) to turn it on or off. Am I illegal?

Spoiler for answer:
No. I do have to make certain that that cover can't come loose during a match, though.


If, at match end + 30 seconds or so, a minibot dropped a rope to about the 6' mark, making it easy to grab, I think it would be legal, because it's after the match. However, that rope/cord/string would have to be inside the cube the entire match.

I like the idea, but I'd probably suggest asking Q&A about this.
Looks within the rules to me, just remember that after the match isn't when time runs out; it's ten seconds until after time runs out OR until everything comes to rest, which means that if you drop a rope five seconds after the buzzer while minibots are still climbing, you're in trouble.

Homework? What's homework?
