thought id throw this in just to prove that it is possible to have ur robot legally 'shut down' then 'start up' again. when u hit the robot reset button from the oi u will for a short second or so see the light turn off and turn back on... in the code u could program ur robot to take an ordinarily long time to 'reboot'.

not that i promote any of this... just thought id let you know its possible to do.

also from what i know... the rule requires that your robot may not be 'active' unless your light is on. such as what happens when u have low batt and your contoller 'reboots' itself. one would have to check to see if the rule of the light being on applies to the visual robot or to the rc.
