Ball eject

The issue has been raised that what happens if you have a ball in your robot but then have to e-stop or loose power.

What are teams thinking of doing incase this happens so you don't choke your alliance?

I was thinking have a system that any robot can hit your robot in a way so that it forces the ball to leave the system. So maybe a rod that is able to contact the ball regardless of where it is in or on the robot.
