While i don't know the exact rules that would apply, i'm fairly certain that wouldn't be allowed. I do know several rules require:
- all motors to be powered by spikes or victors
- everything to be powered through one of the circuit breaker panels (either the 40A ones or the 20A)
- All electrical pathways pass through the master breaker (on/off switch)
It's very probable that you'd violate a rule in trying to get fancy to power something after the match. It'd be much better to design in some sort of mechanical release that would allow you to freely move/position your manipulator after the match is over.
