Last year, in response to a rule like this but with things like the gyro and accelerometer using a PWM hookup getting power from the 7.2 volt battery in other sections of the manual and documentation, I asked about it in the Q+A and FIRST approved hooking a gyro and accelerometer directly to the PWM power instead of running a separate 12 volt line and regulator. This year's ruling might be different...
