Against the rules? If the arms are identical then I'm not seeing why your example is illegal. T8 clearly describes that mechanisms changed between matches are acceptable if they meet inspection criteria.

Still not sure why such an attitude about the compressor exists here. The rules state you are only allowed 1 and only 1 battery on the robot yet they are changed every match. Why is the Compressor not a replaceable part? This is not an attempt to gain some sort of advantage, its a safety issue.
