    Eject tapes from TLD(1):
    Select media, right-click, eject.
    This will physically eject tapes and also logically move tapes to Standalone (non-robotic)

    Insert tapes in MAP/CAP of other robot (TLD(2)) 
    Inventory TLD(2), and select Update with 'Empty MAP' selected.
    This will update physical and logical (NBU) location.

    Important part is the media that was in TLD(1) must first be moved to Standalone, then move to new robot and volume group.
