However, your appendage looks illegal, as it appears to be two appendages when it first crosses the frame perimeter. That's a no-no, according to the GDC Q&A on 2012-02-01

Q: Our question is similar to FRC1540. We want to put surgical tubing "whips" on a roller located at the frame perimeter. When this rotates the whips will extend beyond the frame perimeter. Is each "whip" its own apendage or is the assembly considered one appendage?

A: If multiple items exit the Frame Perimeter and are not contiguous outside the Frame Perimeter, they are considered multiple appendages.
When the appendage fully extends, they are connected outside of the frame
