Can a team request that the referee return the robot to base for them if they can reach it?
Absolutely, but they will be subject to the robot return penalty. In fact, before the match even begins a good referee will ask the team the best way to pick up the robot without damaging it just for this eventuality. A quick word with a referee that does not bring this up on their own might be a good idea. Your other option is to bring a stool.
