Elastic Potential Energy Stored in Surgical Tubing: What are the legal limits?

We want to project our arm that will hook on the castle tower's bar. We want to do this vertically using surgical tubing to lift the arm until it hits the stop at the top of the arm's travel. It never gets "airborne" and stays completely within the confines of its mechanism. Our question is: Is there anything prohibiting using surgical tubing, stretched and secured at the arm's base, as the means of extending the arm in the last 20 seconds. (we will have a latch mechanism in place to be sure that it won't release until our driver hits the button.) Thank you.
