Yea... as long as every other team can purchase them. Banebots.com has them, so yes, they're legal.

As long as you don't use any motors that come with them and are outside the allowed motor rules, that is.

Does anyone know if the RS-550 motors are legal? The kit came with 2 RS-545's. I know that the 550's were legal last year.

Reference <R51>. If the RS-550s are not in the 2009 kit of parts, then they are not 2009 legal.
