Per <G42> in 2010, you couldn't use any power to reset the robot while on the field - you had to be able to remove it from the tower and field in an unpowered state.
Ours could easily be removed from the field without doing any reset - it was only once we were back in our pits that we would reset the robot using an off-board battery. The entire process was specifically designed to be safe, and we never had anyone tell us we couldn't do it (we specifically showed inspectors how it was done, and we did it during robot reset in Finals matches when we couldn't take the robot back to the pit).
