: does anyone know if it is legal to hook up a tether after the end of the match to collapse a robot, i would be using a seperate control system(last years), to collapse our robot in order to remove it from the field without hassle if we should end the match in the uprite position. thank you

Rules say your robot must be able to get off the field without having to be powered up.

We required a tether after one match in order to get our hook to let go of the goal. Refs told us to fix it before the next match, or not play again. Our hook is powered by the seat track motor. Since then we take a cordless drill to open up the hook (on the flex shaft). Ref's have no problem with that.

If your using the tether outside of the playing field, there should be no problem.
