Dog gear clutches are legal. They are also relatively simple to use, and available on AM. Additionally, you can power them in a number of ways, including pancake cylinders, regular cylinders, servos, or window motors, all with properly designed (or purchased) linkages. The window motors are a bit abstract, but if you don't want pneumatics, they are more reliable than servos. Also, they look cool, and can shift multiple dogs at one time.
