Jeffery,
The use of slip rings is allowed under the robot rules the last two years, but you should follow the flowchart for a start and you must include the part price in your BOM and it must fit the single unit price maximum. Please be prepared to show the specifications when you are inspected as this will be critical to the acceptance. Remember that the current in some of the motors is pretty high and although some electrical parts are derated for being in the open air, a closed slip ring assembly needs to be able to handle the current of the motor power passing through it. When you are not sure, a question to the Q&A will remove all doubt.
