I would love to hear the explanation from FIRST why you can't use I2C on the Sidecar. Quite frankly- unless someone can point to a specific rule against this I would ignore the forum post. Forum posts are not rules. The rules are in PDF form in the 2009 FRC Manual. Team updates make modifications to the rules. Forum posts only provide clarification for you to use during design or to provide to robot inspectors to certify your robot is in compliance to a rule.
