Re: Converting 12v to 24v

I don't see the loop hole but I'm not the GDC. Many years ago we prototyped a friction clutch that only used a Hitec servo to hold. It can be done. If you have air on the bot a friction clutch is easier. A little 3/4" piston is all that is needed.
With out a clear ruling from the GDC find another way. If this is for a catapult, there was a video earlier that showed a team using a eccentric cam to operate the catapult.
