This is just an idea, I have no idea on the legality or workability of this.

This would fall under "tethering".

It's workable, sure, but it's not legal under T15. As soon as you're off the field and on the cart, though, you're fine. But we're not talking about that right now.


If I was to make a suggestion...

Build or buy some long handles that hook into the frame of the robot safely. Ideally, those would allow you to pick up the robot and get it off of the field without having to deal with the shooter being tilted back, then you can tether up as soon as you're off to deal with the shooter.
