That looks like a pretty simple to make system and it doesn't have a bunch of metal parts or any illegal components that would prevent it from being useful in a competition. Good find!

If you think you want to tackle a small electronics project, you can build a servo motor operated deploy timer for your water rockets. We show you how to do it for only a few bucks in this topic:
