Re: Are these servos legal?

First: It doesn't matter what I think. It matters what the inspector at your event thinks.

That said I think it would be very useful for you to look at the blue box accompanying the rule, which specs out how to calculate the power for FRC applications:

Servo Max Power Rating = (Stall Torque) X (No Load Speed)
(emphasis mine)
