Re: Legality of servo actuators
If you change the motor on the Servo City linear actuator to a FRC legal motor the assembly will be FRC legal. At that point it's just a legal motor assembled to a lead screw. I've seen several teams take this approach but I'm not familiar with the details of how to adapt the motor shaft to the existing actuator gear train.
