Preloading uber-tubes

So my team has constructed a claw to hold and place tubes during a match that uses a window motor. The problem is that the window motor cannot be back-driven so loading an uber-tube for autonomous requires it to be powered closed. we considered wiring a switch into the circuit so the claw could be opened and closed without connecting the OI, but have been unable to resolve the debate over this being allowed by the wiring rules. What is the best / legal way to handle this situation?
