I'm fairly new to the subject, and have not yet came to a point where this was
an issue. But, if I ever do, I can see nothing wrong with using non-Lego
pieces in my creations. The thing is, my interest is in robotics, not Lego
robotics. Lego makes fabulous tools for robotics hobbyists, but when John
Barnes releases his leadscrews, I'll buy a set since they increase the
capabilities that the other, "pure" Lego pieces offer me. If Lego offered
the technology, I'd use theirs, but since they don't, I'll have to go
elsewhere.
