It has to start touching your robot whether it be a bumper of on your claw within your starting zone. You cannot power up the robot when it is one the field and if they are giving teams the ubertubes early has not been stated and is highly unlikely. If the claw is driven by something other than a window motor or a motor with a worm gearbox you should be able to open it by hand. If not you may have to adjust your auto program to pick it up off the ground.
