Is that originated from this Q&A answer?

Q: Does an extension count as a single appendage if more than one extension originates from the same mechanism within the robot , or is connected within the frame perimeter?

A: There is no formal definition of appendage, however a colloquial definition is "a subordinate part attached to something; an auxiliary part; addition" (courtesy of disctionary.com). To elaborate, an appendage, when extended beyond the Frame Perimeter, is a contiguous assembly.
I really don't know if that answer confirms or denies this.
