Could the mechanism extend over the midline to grab the second ball in a two ball auto? If so would that be considered a violation of the rule as long as my frame perimeter did not cross the midline?
This is a question that can only be answered by the Q&A, however, it is often interpreted that anything that is connected to the robot is the "robot".
That being said, I can think of a variety of pickups that could move the rock without crossing the midline volume.
