Yea... as long as every other team can purchase them. Banebots.com has them, so yes, they're legal.

Does anyone know if the RS-550 motors are legal? The kit came with 2 RS-545's. I know that the 550's were legal last year.

Reference <R51>. If the RS-550s are not in the 2009 kit of parts, then they are not 2009 legal.
