If you review the entire thread and specifically look at post #78 by artdutra04, you'll probably see the concern. In 179's current design, there would appear to be a point in time during deployment where only an edge of the sprockets would be outside their frame perimeter (because the axle connecting it to the rest of the ramp assembly hasn't yet crossed the frame perimeter) making it discontiguous from the ramp.
I personally think everyone is looking into this on a microscopic scale when it comes to what is contiguous. If you go to the hardest and strictest enforcement of a definition of a word you will get what everyone is talking about with things being contiguous. I see it as the sprocket is attached to the axle which is attached to the ramp as one assembly which has already crossed the frame perimeter. Yes the sprocket has its individual teeth that make the chain move but its part of 1 part. I get that those teeth will cross the perimeter at a different miniscule time. The GDC's response to the Q&A's seem straight forward to me, i don't get why people are so worried about it.
