It's also important to note that while some electromagnetic clutches contain solenoids, not all do. (Also, the definition of solenoid is itself open to some interpretation. I'd recommend also asking the GDC to define an electrical solenoid actuator, noting that the definition of a solenoid varies in different areas of engineering and scientific practice.)
Even though it's probably fair to say that a clutch is an actuator, electromagnets
not used as actuators are not prohibited.
