Re: Curious: how many limit switches to teams typically use?
Last year we had 1...that was added at state...and was never used...

This year we have none so far. I don't think we are using any either. We usually use encoders and software to stop in the code and then physical safety stops. In the code I have written, if the encoder stops moving and the motor is still attempting to move, we know where it is or that the encoder has fallen off so we can automatically reset it. I've never had a problem with encoders so I like them.
