Re: Yet another MINIBOT thread....

Just a caution...

Typical limit switches are not designed for the kind of 7amps power you'll be getting by direct connecting the battery through the limit switch to the motors. Make sure you use a heavy duty one.

That's why household light switches are permitted. They can handle the power.
