Is a Car Jack a legal item to use?

I didn't mean it on such a basic level - but if a team made a launcher and decided to sell it that seems questionable.

What do you define as a basic level?

Do you see what I mean, this rule doesn't exist. How do you define a "basic" level.

I understand that it doesn't - just trying to clear up what I meant when I described the imaginary rule

Anything that fully or near fully plays a major aspect of the game - IE launches frisbees.

Kind of like purchasing a huge clay pigeon machine and sticking it on your robot would be suspect to question.

Would an electric car jack like this one be legal as well ? My guess is that it's ok as long as the motor is on the approved list but I just wanted to confirm.

I can't see a reason for it not to be legal as long as the motor you use is approved.

But if you're tossing out the motor anyway, you may want to go with the one I posted.

It's only $20 and it's reasonably easy to have a motor turn the winch to prop it up.
