If it doesn't, then I'm 95% sure that your appendage would be ruled as 2 appendages, and would be penalized.
I'm a little confused by your wording, but it only protrudes in one direction adn that's out of the front of the robot, not past the sides, and it should actually sit out farther than that allowing for 8inch bumpers on each side.

Not sure of super shifter speeds and yes we're going only bridge, the horns also help us hold another robot on top of us, our plan for getting 3 or 2 robots on a bridge easily. The back protrusions help keep a robot from driving off us, they drive up until they hit that with their bumpers, then the horns raise to secure the back end and we carry them.

Also we can score on all 3 baskets even from our low height.
