When I inspect this year I will certainly be looking to see if any sensors are wired into the Jaguar. After that it will likely be somewhat on the honor code. There are some rules that while valid can be hard to enforce such as verifying that you didn't build anything prior to kickoff.
As for no closed-loop feedback from the Jaguars, it is very upsetting. However teams did truly awesome things with sensors on the IFI control system and I am sure our cRIO has some power to spare.

The one thing that no one ever list in scouting but is one of the most important factors is reliability. I don't care if the robot scores a hundred balls a match if I can't count on you being out there for the next three because it's a fragile as china. - Koko Ed [more]
