is perpendicular to the base edge that the appendage is crossing? FRC0053 2012-01-15
A. There is no explicit width limit for a Robot appendage. Per Rule [R21], "Robots may extend one appendage up to 14 in. beyond
a single edge of their Frame Perimeter at any time."

Actually, it appears to be saying that the corners are entirely off limits. the question asks if an appendage can cross the fame at one edge then cross the imaginary extension of another. The Answer seems to be hinting (why can't they just tell us instead of giving vague hints?) that this would be illegal. Further clarification might be necessary.
