Re: Keepers after autonomous
There is no penalty for not dropping the keeper. It is itself the penalty. It can not be scored and you can not pick up another ringer while you have it, so you are wasting time.

According to <G14>, teams are instructed to drop a keeper immediately after autonomous. However, there is no penalty/consequence mentioned if we do not do this. What happens if a team does not drop a keeper immediately?
From GDC:
There is no explicit penalty if a Robot keeps a Keeper in its posession after the start of the Teleoperated Period, unless the Robot Hangs the Keeper. In that case, it would be a violation of <G14> and would result in a disqualification. If the Robot holds on to the Keeper but does not attempt to Hang it, the Robot is just delaying the time until it is able to take posession of a Ringer and continue play.
