No, this would not be legal.
Try this simplified logic flow, which is fully documented in the rules (once again, please READ APPENDIX A, SECTION K of the rules!):
1 - Did it come in the kit of parts?
- yes -> OK, it's legal
- no -> go to question 2
2 - Did the team get it from SPI?
- yes -> OK, it's legal
- no -> go to question 3
3 - Is the material listed in the "Additional Hardware List" in Appendix C of the rules?
- yes -> OK, it's legal
- no -> can't use it. Replace with alternate material and return to step 1.
The Atwood Powerjack Gearbox did not come with the FIRST kit, is not available from SPI, and is not included on the Additional Hardware List. If the inspector at the Chatsworth Scrimmage didn't call you on it, you got lucky. Don't count on that happening at the L.A. Regional.
