That does not mean, however, that I think they should be banned. I personally would like to see the rules in this area opened to the same use as in FRC. All of the stated devices are legal in FRC and encouraged. The real issue is the ability for a team to correctly use these items with the interface tools allowed and prevent damage to the NXT.

I could not agree more! I used to be the electrical guy on Overdrive's FRC team, and I really miss the open-nes with which FIRST viewed COTs sensors in FRC.
Hopefully, they will address custom sensors more clearly in next year's manual
