The battery has hanging out in an unsafe posision.
If things got bad the battery could have got busted and leaked and harm the robot, the field, other robots, and if it was a huge impact the acid could have hit somebody.

That is just not true. You can stick a screwdriver through these batteries and they will not "leak" or "spray" the acid anywhere.

The point is that this exact thing has happened hundreds of times over the past 8 years and the match proceeded with only the robot being disabled.

I just want an official position from FIRST when this happens again.
