Similar sensors were legal and included in the Kit a few years ago. In fact, R62 and R63 from last year make it clear that these are legal. And yes, making the control adapt properly to the dynamic nature of the FIRST field would be challenging. I think true traction control would be decidedly difficult, and would basically end up monitor wheel velocity and motor load and maybe a few other factors to decide if the wheels actually are slipping.
