Analog and digital input question

I know that the FRC controller must be present on the robot and control radio communications etc., but is there anything in the rules that says that sensors need to be connected to the FRC controller? or can they be connected to another board?

For example, if I wanted to use a gyro and accelerometer, would I need to connect them to the FRC controller and then relay data to the other board?, or can I hook them up to the other board directly?

In addition, I would assume that the camera would be considered pretty much the same as any other sensor, but just to make sure, would it be legal to directly interface the camera with another board?

In all cases the FRC controller would be handling all radio communications and controlling all pwm/relay outputs.

Thanks,
--Robby
