Re: 6 poll 2 way switch...

Is there a similar one operating a light fixture in any household you have ever been in? If the answer is no, then you will likely have a joy of a time convincing the inspectors that it is a common household light switch as per the minibot rules.

Fritz,
Respectfully, that wasn't 'nicely'.
By GDC definition, the switch must be of a type normally mounted in a wall box for controlling the lights in your house.

That depends on whos household. Now if that is an engineer's house...

There are some specialty switches but not for mounting in a standard "household wall box".

There is no such thing as a 6 pole 2 way switch, you are mixing up naming conventions for switches in general (the x poll) and switches used in household wiring (the x way)

What are you trying to accomplish with this switch?

A 3way switch can be used to switch between "on" and "brake"

A 4 way switch can be used to switch between "forward" and "reverse" Or it can switch between 2 motors in "forward" and 1 motor in "reverse" plus 1 motor in "brake" mode.

What he said. Why on Earth would you need a 6PDT switch? You can probably get away with a 3-way light switch which is a SPDT switch.

Post a schematic of what you're trying to do. We might have some suggestions for ways to accomplish the task with a legal part(s).
