If we use two of these, would it could put together as a two degree freedom, or two one degree freedoms? Please answer this as soon as possible, thank you!
Without seeing the specific rule you're talking about I can't be sure, but if I had to take a guess, it sounds like this rule is more intended to prevent people from building flying robots (IE drones) than it is to limit complexity of manipulators (which is what I assume you're building). Unless of course the rule specifically applies to manipulators and not the entire robot, then I would guess it means you're limited to 2 degrees of freedom per manipulator.

Perhaps you could elaborate a bit on which rule # you're referring to and what you're trying to build? We might be able to help you better.
