To my understanding, yes, that is legal. You are allowed to communicate no more than 4 actions to the robot. I don't see why you can have 3 done by one channel, but that only leaves you with one action left.

You should make each channel do one task to make things easier, but if you technically have no more than 4 tasks done by the same channel, that appears to be legal.
