Slip Rings

My team was thinking about using slip rings in our design.
There are some commercial manufacturer's of such things:

My question is: Are slip rings allowed? In the past FIRST has explicitly prohibited the use of slip rings. This year I can't recall seeing such a rule in the manual.

Any thoughts?

(Side Note: We aren't using slip rings for other reasons, I'm just curious)
