When you put your robot on the field, it will initially be disabled, which means no power to Spikes or Victors. If your robot does not fit into the starting envelope in this state, you will not be permitted to compete.

Yes, you can have your pneumatic system charged at the beginning of the match. In fact, it's generally recommended that you do so; otherwise you'll be spending the first 15-30 seconds of the match charging up.
