Are non-LEGO items allowed? I'm just talking small parts of a mostly LEGO
module, not a whole non-LEGO module. One obvious possibility I'm thinking about
is string, but there may be others.

Well, at this point, it's not really a competition, so there aren't many "rules"
beyond the "standard".
So, you can use whatever you want. For example, the module at the bottom of this
picture has a red & white distance sensor to detect when balls are present.

Of course, if it does turn into a competition, I'm sure some construction rules will
be applied...
