Not so fast there. A blanket statement of "no you can't do this" is incorrect.

Refer to Rule <T13>. At the discretion of the head ref or field manager, you can indeed power up your Robot to position it for safe/easy removal from the field. It must be done in a timely manner, using only on-board power, and not cause a delay of the field reset.
