No, the team may not take down the wire/zip line. There are several rules that prohibit that kind of change. First--it isn't allowed at all. Rule 14: Mission Models - You may not take mission models apart, even temporarily. Second--the team isn't allowed to do it by hand. Rule 20: Sending/Handling Things Outside Base - Your hands may not directly or indirectly strategically change the shape, position, motion, quantity, or other status of things outside Base ... Third--if the robot does it, then your team can't score points because of doing it. Rule 34: Model Damage - Any scoring success which obviously depended on model damage is marked scoreless.
