Question Is Teflon legal?

My team is building a scissor lift this year, and to help reduce friction, we were going to use Teflon bearings. This is my question: are we allowed to use Teflon in FTC? The manual says "Standard bearings and bushings", but what exactly does that mean? Are Teflon bearings considered "standard"?
