All of the stated devices are legal in FRC and encouraged. The real issue is the ability for a team to correctly use these items with the interface tools allowed and prevent damage to the NXT.
I could not agree more! I used to be the electrical guy on Overdrive's FRC team, and I really miss the open-nes with which FIRST viewed COTs sensors in FRC.
Hopefully, they will address custom sensors more clearly in next year's manual
