I'm thinking no, because the motor inside of it isn't included in the list in the manual (scroll down to 4.7).

No,

R29 states:

As well as unlimited numbers of:
Electrical solenoid actuators, no greater than 1 in. stroke and rated electrical input power no greater than 10 watts (W) continuous duty at 12 volts (VDC)

Drive motors or fans that are part of a motor controller or COTS computing device

Fans included in the 2014 Kickoff Kit, FIRST® Choice, or as a Talon motor controller accessory

COTS servos with a maximum power rating of 4W each at 6VDC
Per the Servo Industry,

That actuator contains a build in motor that is not on the list. For more information please visit the FIRST 2014 manual at: http://frc-manual.usfirst.org/viewItem/3#4
