So... ...bottom line, unless an update is made, they are not legal.

The good news (if FIRST changes the rules on what counts against the $200 electronic limit -- right now wire would have to count against the $200 limit -- that's just silly) is that ADXRS150 and ADXRS300 are available angular rate sensors from Future Electronics. I have not used them but others did last year with good results -- search the fori to find the postings.
