Using Magnets

Our team wants to use a limit sensor to calculate when we want a motor to start and stop. The one problem with this is the limit sensor would be destroyed by a fast moving piece of medal. We want to use a magnetic proximity switch(or something like that that triggers a button via a magnet) but we do not know if it is legal. Has anyone else had this idea and found out whether it is legal for the 2008 competition?
