The drawings show it as an add on, but the text does not say one way or the other.
I will post in the Q&A when available, but ask it here in case we have missed this somewhere in the rules.

I glad to learn that you'll be posting that question, Chris.
Imagine the delays at the inspection station, while inspectors wait for teams to remove trailer hitches from their robots so they can be checked for size. Rules require that bumper removal be quick (10 minutes work by one person per <R08>F.) but there is no such requirement for removing trailer hitches.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
