Help with rules Clarification

Our rookie team has designed a catapult arm that is powered by a SiMM motor and a electromagnetic clutch system.. see picture. Our mentor team has said that it should be ok but the check the rules again.

I know that the SIMM motor is an allowable part however I am not 100% on the rest of the contraption and I am not family with how it was machine shopped together. I know that winches are illegal.

Any insight would be helpful. We have already had an issue where we designed parts around an actuator that turned out not to be on the approved list. If I cant get a definite answer I am going to be forced to err on the side of caution and scrap the design.
