R204       *Leave SCORING ELEMENTS at the FIELD. ROBOTS must allow removal of SCORING ELEMENTS from the ROBOT and the ROBOT from FIELD elements while DISABLED and powered off.

ROBOTS will not be re-enabled after the MATCH, so teams must be sure that SCORING ELEMENTS and ROBOTS can be quickly, simply, and safely removed.

Teams are encouraged to consider G501 when developing their ROBOTS.
