On board shock datalogger?

I have been playing with a couple of MadgeTech Shock101 dataloggers at work this week. It has gotten me thinking about putting one on a FIRST robot during competition but I am wondering if it would pass inspection. I was thinking it would be fun to mount one on our robot to record the impact forces during the match just out of curiosity. They cost ~$600 each and have a separate battery so that is two broken rules right off the bat but it would be used more for curiosity than any real functional need. Being self contained it wouldn't even interface with the robot in any way other than being bolted to it. Has anyone ever tried anything like this? Would the inspectors make an exception? I just thought it might be cool to actually study the impact forces during some matches but wonder if FIRST would allow it.
