This should make it strategically disadvantageous in almost every scenario to declare a dead ball like that.

At our regional the robot that declared the ball "dead" when they were essentially cornered did not release the ball after.
We notice however that the one match where the dead ball did become free the field crew handled the scoring. The live ball was put into scoring (low goal) and the head ref told the corner ref not to score. Then the team had to go get the dead ball and remove it from the field. At which time they gave the scoring of the live ball (which was scored 10 seconds earlier). In our case they sent it through the low goal, but that is not required per 3.1.2

3.1.2 ...The ALLIANCE may continue to earn POSSESSIONS, ASSISTS, TRUSS and CATCH points with the live BALL but will not be credited for a SCORED GOAL with the live BALL (though if the BALL otherwise meets the definition of SCORED it will be handled as SCORED by FIELD crew) until the dead BALL is removed from the FIELD.
