A: Electromagnets are not allowed. Permanent magnets are allowed as long as they satisfy the 2005 Parts Use Flowchart.
I do not beleive that necessarily applies to Justin's question, as that was for independent magnets, not magnets integrated in a COTS sensor.

However, he would only be able to use permanent magnets on the arm to trip the sensor.
