Joe,
You are correct. I was addressing two issues without being clear. The first is strictly robot legal and the second that being after season bling. For robot legal, using a limit switch in this fashion is not acceptable. For after season it might be OK electrically, depending on the current demands and the switch rating.
As Jon points out, custom circuits do carry their own interpretation within the rules. Teams challenge us all the time with this. To be legal in season, LEDs that are part of a custom circuit can be used without Spikes. That is tallies for a controller, micro-computer or indicators on the custom circuit cannot be implemented using spikes or other power controllers. (much like the tallies on controllers) However, LED/LED Arrays for display or feedback to the drivers or for non-functional decoration of the robot in season must be controlled per robot rules.
