R204      *NOTES stay with the FIELD. ROBOTS must allow removal of NOTES from the ROBOT and the ROBOT from FIELD elements while DISABLED and powered off.

ROBOTS will not be re-enabled after the MATCH, so teams must be sure that NOTES and ROBOTS can be quickly, simply, and safely removed.

Teams are encouraged to consider G501 when developing their ROBOTS.
