So get a three-way light switch (which I believe still qualifies as "common"), which is basically a single pole double throw switch. Then wire it like this:
A 3-way switch would certainly be considered common since in update #7 they state that a 4 way switch could be used to reverse the motors to make the mini bot power itself down the pole, which is something many teams have already figured out and posted in a couple of threads here. Plus the updated definition (don't remember which one) says that any switch found in your local hardware store designed to be mounted in a box is acceptable.
