In '07, the refs did enter the field and removed (sometimes forcefully!) the keepers that weren't in scoring position. To do this safely, there was a delay between the autonomous and teleop portions of the game.

It took at most 15 seconds to remove the dead keepers, even when they had to cut / deflate them to get them away from the more secure grabbers. It barely affected the time of the matches.

My guess is that you will see similar steps.
