um my preference is the vex kit i wouldn't use the lego mindstorms though to fragile and have to be programed so not the best if ur not good with programing

Today i was talking to the person on my team doing robo-cross and he already built the robot and has it working [sorta]. Anyway I have a few questions about it. He said that he wont be able to use a remote control for it and he was thinking of either a. programming it to run the course b. use a sound sensor or c. use a motion sensor [for example take a meter stick and put it in front of the robot and guide the meter stick where you want the robot to go.] My question is are any of these illegal? I dont have the rules with me and even if i did, i dont get robot stuff. Also, is there a limit to the amount of motors you can use? Right now we have 3. 2 on the wheels and 1 on the claws. He wants to put another on the claw so he can make the claw go up and down but he doesnt know if that's legal.
