Re: Altium Usage?

I apologize for the double post, but a thought came to me last night:

Currently, the rules dictate that the official analog breakout must be connected to slot 1 with the jumper selecting the battery voltage for AI8.

What if the rules were revised to say something closer to "Channel 8 of slot 1 must be wired with a resistor divider with values X and Y to the input battery voltage. An easy way to do this is with the official analog breakout with the jumper as such." ? I don't see any other rules nor safety guidelines preventing the use of custom analog breakouts, and it could be an easy place to get your toes wet. I'd love to see a team make an "analog breakout" that is a 6 axis IMU + compass + battery monitor.
