Re: Are automotive Power Door Lock actuators legal?

While CD here can give good guidance, the only place to get a true ruling is the official Q&A: https://frc-qa.usfirst.org/Questions.php

You need to get your team's login info for it (have the team's main contact log into TIMS and find it).

Fortunately, this exact question has already been asked!

Q. Table 4-1 lists door motors as allowed for use on the robot. Does that include the door motor for power locks?

A. Yes, Team Update 2015-01-16 will update the description of the Window, Door, Windshield Wiper, and Seat motors to specify that they must be from an automotive application (i.e. from an automobile). Motors used in or for automotive doors meet the revised criteria.
