This would be illegal, per <G44>:

<G44> Detaching MECHANISMS - ROBOTS may not intentionally detach parts or leave multiple mechanisms on the TRACK.
For those saying bolting Speed Racer onto Fezzik would make it legal, why? <R12> explicitly states:
Quote:
...each manipulator being a quick attach / detach device such that either one or the other (but not both) may be part of the ROBOT at the beginning of a MATCH.
