Link to source? I have been looking for legality stuff on slip rings for a while, but I couldn't find anything on the Q&A or in the official rules, other than that custom circuits are prohibited.

Also, bomb squad uses the Mercotac Model 230 slip ring according to a PM I got a while back. They're ~$100 each online it looks like.
