Re: Clutch system
Tanner,
This is the section that applies to your answer...
<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 had an electric clutch that used a moving part that was attracted by a magnetic field, then this rule would have applied in 2008 and would (should) have been deemed illegal as it is in 2010. The same language existed in the rules then as now. If you would like to PM me with the part you are considering I can give you an opinion from an inspector point of view. The definitive answer still comes from the GDC via the Q&A and has been answered.
