Gas charged hood lifts: are they legal in 2016

We want to go to the local auto parts store and purchase gas-charged hood lifts to use on our bot for lifting our tower-scaling hook. We will be using two in series to be able to achieve the needed height. If constructed "safely", is this stored energy source legal in 2016? We are not recharging or discharging any gasses in this scenario.
