The Refs can use the manual release valve too, if necessary.
Just mark it's location well, so it's obvious where it is.

Field power to the ROBOTS will not be re-enabled after a match. ROBOTS must be designed to permit removal of TRACKBALLS or other ROBOTS without requiring activation of the ROBOT power system. Teams should design mechanisms that allow easy release of TRACKBALLS. At the discretion of the head referee or field manager, ROBOTS may be powered up and controlled via tether to collapse the ROBOT to permit safe and/or rapid removal from the field and transport to the pits.
