Re: Minibot stopping on the one yard line?

so the toggle switch as i call it is what i am using on my teams mini bot. i have a bolt/shaft going through a hole in the top of the MINIBOT which is cushioned by a rubber band to allow for the needed force to trigger the sensor before it is pushed down to turn off the bot.

i also have a question. i have designed my bot to go to the top, hit and come down (with no programming AT ALL). There has been a lot of talk about having to make the bot stay up there for x amount of time. can someone clarify this for me?

My MINIBOT with half charged battery with no off switch at the time......
