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?

. . 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. |
