I think it might fall under the Non-Functional Decoration rule - in that it has absolutely no interaction with any robot systems (aside from the obvious physical interface). It does count towards your weight, however.

Note that for quite a bit less $, you can mount an acceleration sensor to the robot (with a suitable G-force range) and use the RC to report back to the dashboard. You'd have to decide if you wanted continuous reports, or only when the shock exceeds some threshold. Unfortunately yhe KOP acceleromoter has a range that may be too small for this specific usage.
