The "Rule of 7" is one of the building limitations of RA2 building : without mods to the exe file or BFE, you can't build a bot that has more than 7 components in a row. It was most likely implemented in the game to reduce lag from huge setups on a single anchor.
In May 2016, Serge released a new exe file for the game, Robot Arena 2: Component Freedom which allows you to freely bypass the Rule of Seven in game.
Examples of Rule of Seven
Example - you put a baseplate anchor on your chassis, an extender on it, another extender attached on that extender, and repeat this 4 times. The game won't let you attach another component to the last 6th extender, because the setup has 7 components in a row (Anchor-Extender-Extender-Extender-Extender-Extender-Extender)
Another more practical example is the setup on a 36-weapon HS. It is typically: Snapper II - Extender - HP Z-tek -Tribar - 20cm round extender- 20cm round extender - Mace(or iron spike)
That means: one of the limitations of building a classic 36-iron (or mace) is the need to attach all weapon motors on the direct extender attached to the snapper, the other remaining AP can be used for the drive motors.
