Well, when you say "only operate in unison," is that restricted to only their movement for deployment extension beyond the frame perimeter, but after deployment motion completes, can they can perform independent functions for each arm? Or, must they continue to operate in unison performing a single function by their coordinated movements, for as long as they remain outside the frame perimeter?
What if my bridge tilt arm is forked and one side of fork can also grab a ball and return it into the robot. Sometimes it would extend to tilt the bridge, and sometimes it would extend to get a ball. Would this be a violation, even though both arms of the appendage extend outward and return inward "in unison" as you describe?
