I'll agree with Cody. The score after things settle, so I don't really see a problem. I think it would be a problem if the mechanism was rigged to release and start lifting as the robot loses power and the match ends, however. I think at tha point the match is over and you're having your robot start things after the match. Obviously a Q&A question, though. Practically speaking, I don't really see a feasible way to manage this without massive counterweights or some pretty big springs, so I'd be curious to see how you managed it.
