I realize that the movement in the clutch is very small, but if they intended to allow some movement, they would have specified a maximum. By not doing so, they specified a maximum of zero inches.

All of the above is my opinion, and has no real meaning in the greater scheme of FIRST.
Sorry to go a little off-topic, but are you saying an electromagnet is illegal?

Thanks
