G11 has a penalty attached to it and a time frame to leave the field which gives reason to break T6 (again without penalty).

G14 does not allow tethering/powering after the match on the field, so teams need to ensure that their robot can be reset to TRANSPORT CONFIGURATION without power at the end of the match. My team is already doing this, but I am concerned that others (especially those that are looking at grabbing the all RECYCLE CONTAINERS off of the STEP.

See Q&A 32 for the associated penalty:

T6 will be treated much like the rule on safety glasses. If event staff sees a team violating T6, they will remind the team of the rule and insist on compliance. If the team continues to ignore the rule, or is found to be regularly violating it, despite warnings by event staff, this is likely to be considered egregious behavior as defined in Section 5.5.4, and the team could receive a yellow or red card. This is a safety issue, teams should treat it very seriously.

The references section (5.5.4) states, in part:

In addition to rule violations explicitly listed in The Game section, the Head REFEREE may assign a YELLOW or RED CARD as a result of egregious ROBOT or Team member behavior at the event.
