1. A drape for covering an arm support of a robotic surgical system, the arm support configured to support at least two robotic arms, the at least two robotic arms slidable relative to each other along the arm support so that a spacing between the at least two robotic arms along the arm support varies up to a maximum distance, the drape comprising:
a drape portion configured to extend over the arm support; and
at least two tubular sleeves configured to surround the at least two robotic arms,
wherein an area of the drape portion between the at least two tubular sleeves has a length of at least the maximum distance, and
wherein the drape portion has a total length of at least two times the maximum distance to thereby accommodate sliding of the at least two robotic arms relative to each other along the arm support.
