Is the suggested Vision Camera setup ILLEGAL?!

The suggested camera configuration available from: http://www.ifirobotics.com/docs/cmuc...-software1.zip requires a servo that pans the camera left and right to be directly connected to the camera board. (see GIF attachment)

Is this illegal according to <R53>?
Quote:
<R53> Custom Circuits may not:
• Interfere with the operation of other robots
Directly affect any output devices on the robot, such as by providing power directly to a motor, supplying a PWM signal to a speed controller or supplying a control signal to a relay module. (Custom high impedance voltage monitoring or low impedance current monitoring circuitry connected to the robot’s electrical system is acceptable, because the effect on the robot outputs should be inconsequential.)
• Be used for wireless communication, such as sending or receiving a signal to and/or from the alliance station
• Connect to the radio or tether ports on the Robot Controller
