The default template code turns OFF all the motors and powers down the servos when a "Disable" state is issued from the FCS.
If the Teleop program is halted before receiving a "Disable" the Servos will hold their position until the internal watchdog kicks in (2.5 seconds I think), but if the "Disable" is sent first (which it should be for safety reasons) then the servos will go limp immediately at the end of the match.
You may need to install some sort of mechanical latch to hold the crate in it's upper most position.
