Re: New AndyMark product: L16-R actuator

Nowhere in the 2017 rule book are rotary vs linear servos called out. The AndyMark page refers to it as a linear servo. According to the AndyMark page, it's powered by 6V through the appropriate connectors and signals to be a servo. It retails for $70. I don't see any question here. If you do, go to the Q&A.

Edit: I suggest that you phrase your question such that you are asking if linear servos are permissible provided they meet the servo and electrical component requirements, otherwise the answer may be less specific than you would like, because the GDC doesn't usually rule on specific COTS items.
