End of Match Command?

Our design for launching the ball involves a spring that we pull back, and then upon a piston release, accelerates the ball out.
Due to safety concerns of having a cocked spring with a lot of potential energy, we would prefer to let it release automatically at the end of a match. I remember reading something about running a single piston at the end of autonomous, is there a way we could do the same thing at the end of the teleop period, and if so, how would that be coded? We are a Labview team, but asking this in the general programming section for ideas on how to solve this.
