I googled it. It's sold as a linear actuator, with a control pack for servo use sold separately (for an additional $40). That, to me, would take if off the "servo" list. Also, it's anywhere from $5 under the FRC servo cost limit to $5 over (manufacturer's price). Borderline at best, IMO.

But if you swap out the motor for a legal one, it's a linear actuator that has a legal motor in it.
