Re: Is there a restriction to what sensors we can use?

Not true (unless you are claiming to know the 2005 rules). Assuming they go with the 2004 rules, you can only use sensors that could be purchased from Newark InOne, Future Active, Radio Shack, or Digi-key.

I'll add that I hope you are right, and that electronics are opened up in 2005 in a similar way that mechanical parts were opened up a couple years ago (i.e. any parts under budget except for these banned items).
