Yes, just to be clear, navX-Micro is definitely legal.

Rather than connect to the MXP port, NavX-Micro connects via USB and I2C and is software compatible with the NavX-MXP libraries. So it's a drop-in addition if you already use NavX-MXP.

Navx-Micro is a great option for teams that have already populated the single RoboRIO MXP port with another MXP board, need a second IMU for turret angle or robot arm angle, or are teams with a limited budget. The 2017 NavX libraries will support multiple NavX-family devices, so you can use both NavX-MXP and NavX-Micro on a single robot - even at the full 200 Hz update rate. And even more, there's upcoming support for video processing latency correction to be released soon.
