Which is fine, but in the video Michael posted, they're clearly being used by teams during the match, and have been at several events.
Technically, no matter what they are (plastic laundry bins, custom PVC magazines, etc), they could be considered illegal, since there is no mention of any bin/container of any kind in the rules. The only rule is that discs start behind the alliance station. I don't think this is at all reasonable, but that's my interpretation of the rules. All recent years have either made specific concessions for containers provided for human players (2009), descriptions of the exact placement of the field elements (2011, 2007, 2005), or had all the pieces contained by specific parts of the field behind the alliance wall (2006, 2010, 2012).
