Re: Clutches

Electric clutches are electric solenoids, and are prohibited by rule R53.

<R53> Items specifically PROHIBITED from use on the ROBOT include:
A. Electric motors and/or servos different from, or in addition to, those in the KOP, with the exception of those specifically permitted by Rule <R52>.
B. Electric solenoid actuators (note: electric solenoid actuators are NOT the same as pneumatic solenoid valves – the latter are permitted, the former are not).

If you loose the match and the robot doesn't come back broken, you didn't drive hard enough.
