Those are speed controllers. If they're talking about controlling the robot (and I don't think Logitech makes speed controllers in the first place), then I don't see anything in 8.3.10 that would prohibit them from using FTC controllers.

The difference between speed controllers and controllers? Speed controllers are an electrical component that controls the speed of an electric motor. Controllers tell the computer what to tell the speed controller to do.
