Unless it was done to intentionally damage your robot, that is not illegal. If you read the rules, there is nothing preventing robots from interacting with parts of your robot outside your frame perimeter. Any arm or whatever that extends outside the frame perimeter and is not built robust enough to take hits from an opposing robot is your own fault.
