is the reed switch legal?

There appears to be no reed switches included in this years kit. Can this type of switch be used on this years robot?

Additional Hardware List:
. . Switches - any kind/amount
. . Permanent magnets - ditto

There was some talk on FRCtech about this, too, I believe.

Check there for "Official" word.

Here is the part of the message pertaining to reed switches: (*+*+*+*+*+* mine)

A) If it is outside the box, then it must be one of the supplied
sensors.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
You may also purchase switches per the Additional Hardware List, such as non-contact reed switches that work with permanent magnets,

and use those anywhere on the robot. Alternately, the gear
may be extended into the custom circuit enclosure in order to be
measured with sensors located inside the box.
