The key issue as I see it is whether or not multiple mechanisms that have either an interrelated/coordinated functional purpose or completely independent functional purposes, can be "contiguously" combined on a single arm that extends beyond the robot's "single edge" (this term is totally vague too - what happens if you deploy off a corner: can you go out 14" X 1.414?).

As long as various mechanisms & their components are purposed for one one function and are contigouosly attached to a single extension arm, this would seem to be within the "spirit" of the rule.

However, what happens if your appendage can extend to grab balls off the floor and then swing up, allowing ball transfer to a separate, but still arm-attached, shooter assembly, that proceeds to fire a scoring shot? Does this violate the "spirit" of the rule. Does the "spirit" of the rule imply only a single functional purpose per each appendage?
