So what you're saying is that the internal limit switches don't have to connect to the roborio directly so as long as I have a legal motor?

The limit switches don't need to be hooked to the RoboRio, but they also cannot directly be used to cut power to the motor. The command to cut power to the motors needs to originate in the RoboRio or an approved CAN enabled motor controller.
