Joe,
Check your manual for allowed sensors as well. I read it as NXT or Lego sensors only.

Mr. Skierkiewicz, on page 29-30, rule d (especially d.5) allows for custom circuits to be used, as long as they fit within some specific guidelines, but thank you for you word of caution.

Re: [FTC]: Custom Material and Wiring Questions
I would highly recommend kydex to all teams, great plastic. Heat forms very well and is very durable. We used it all over our robot for most everything.
