Continuous outside the frame perimeter is key here. There will be a time during deployment, as shown in the picture, that the appendage will not be continuous outside the frame perimeter, and may therefore be defined as two appendages, which makes the entire appendage design illegal.

The million-robot question is, will the GDC add an exception for deployment before or after Week 1? (And, more to the point, are we going to see another "tape measure rule"?)
