No, it's not illegal. Only driving away while disabled would be illegal.

Actually the calibration on powerup should help if the referees decide to reposition your robot. Your robot will know when it gets moved and be able to correct for it. Calibration need only take a second and should be over and done with long before the referees get around to deciding to move it.
