There shouldn't be a problem taking your robot's hat off & putting back on later, assuming you were properly inspected after you put it on in the first place. What would be a problem is if you had to take a mechanism off the robot to make weight for the hat; in that case it'd be against the rules to put the original mechanism back on.
If you can make weight with both (say you need to take something off to make room for the hat) and have them both inspected with your robot *then* you would have no problem interchanging them at will. Without the need for re-inspection each time.
