<R68> is what i was referring to, the beginning makes it sound like they are not allowed, because they are not COTS. But if all of the components are COTS and you put them on the PCB is that OK?

Let's look at R68:

Additional electronic components include any object that intentionally conducts electricity, other than Innovation First Inc. relays and speed controllers, wires, connectors, solder, and fabricated printed circuit boards.

So as long as your custom electronics is either COTS (such as an encoder) or assembled from COTS items, it's allowed. A separate PIC, resistors, capacitors, PCBs, etc, are all examples of COTS items which can be assembled to your own circuit.
