Re: Clutch system
I think the intent and interpretation of these rules are pretty clear and straightforward. Clutches are allowed, so long as they are actuated via legal means. Many teams have used dog gears (which are essentially a form of clutch) in transmissions for years, but they actuated them using legal pneumatics, motors, or servos.
There are no rules against electro-magnets, but an electro-magnet actuating something constitutes a servo and is thus illegal via the rules already stated. That seems pretty clear to me.
