To this day, mechanisms cannot be intentionally detached from robots without a penalty.

I couldn't find a picture with the detached piece but from the picture you should be able to tell what it is. I believe it is the pyramid extender part with the 2 white tubes on it. The second picture shows the robot without said attachment.
