Minibot Control

Our team was thinking our using a limit switch to activate the minibot as it reaches the pole. Our minibot looks like a claw, so when the switch is triggered when the minibot ias its pushed onto the pole, it closes the claw by actuating the 2 servos to close in. it would also start up the 2 motors we have. when the minibot gets to the top, another limit switch will be activated and shutoff the motors (while still providing power to hold the servos against the pole and send the minibot back down. Is it feasible to wire thses all together without a tetrix motor controller and servo controller, and nxt brick? How? could you possible show a wiring diagram?
