When the permitted materials list is a rule, what did you expect?

::rtm::::rtm::

<R92> contains everything you are allowed to use on the minibot.

::rtm::::rtm::

I suppose limit switches count. The only question is, are the touch sensors you're thinking of counted as limit switches?

You'll be happy to know that I won't tell you to read the Manual this time.

I'll instead link you to Team Update #1, and direct you to read <R92-BB> as revised. It's on page 4. http://www.usfirst.org/uploadedFiles/Robotics_Programs/FRC/Game_and_Season__Info/2011_Assets/Team_Updates/Team%20Update_01.pdf

There are several updates during the season, I think Tuesday & Friday of each week. Posted to the FIRST website. These are VERY IMPORTANT to read, they modify the rules!
