2011 Minibot electronics - 4 pole switch

GDC
Re: Minibot Light switch

For the purposes of FRC 2011, a standard light switch is considered any standard switch which is normally installed in a wall box to control lights in a home.

We purchased a 4 pole (wall box) light switch from Home Depot and it works very nicely to reverse the DC polarity. On our prototype, we used a standard switch to turn the robot on and the 4 pole switch to bring the minibot back down the pole
