These advertise pull-reset instead of momentary functionality.
Way out of my area of expertise here, but I wanted to make sure that "momentary" was not part of the definition of limit switch.
I also think teams could design their own latching mechanism for a momentary limit switch with a little aluminum and surgical tubing.

Aaron,
Perhaps we can persuade Al to comment on this. Although I am sure that a "pull to reset" type of switch was not what they had in mind at game design time, it is marketed as a limit switch and, IMHO, legal.

Mike
