In the official SBR Ruleset they are not banned. You must kill your opponent at 300% though to prevent stalling.

Some TO's like Xyro have them limited or banned, but the general population reguards them as fair play.

well my friend was telling me that they took it out because the timing is off thanks to the physics engine of this game.

Your friend is only partially correct. Wobbling, the infinite grab from Melee, is gone.

However, in Brawl, the ICs have a new infinite grab revolving around one Ice Climber grabbing and throwing, and the other Ice Climber immediately grabbing and throwing. Lather, rinse, repeat. Hylian has a video on YouTube that goes through a bunch of the options. Personally, I think the infinite grabs in this game are much cooler than wobbling.

Plus, there's all sorts of new mix-ups that can be thrown in, like footstooling, ice blocks, all sorts of stuff. It's badass.

Check the above link.
