If 254's official towers use the design in the published field drawings, and the minibot does work on them, but not on the modified design tower switches, then I'd say we have a problem.

OK fine. Let's throw out the last paragraph of my post and concentrate on the rest. What is required to TRIGGER the TARGET? If I don't know the answer to that question, how do I design a minibot to reliably TRIGGER the TARGET? Does it take 4N of force? Does it take some force for a specified period of time? Do I need to hit the plate in a certain area? Do I need to tap out morse code on the plate when I get there? I don't care what the specs are, just let us know so we can design a device that meets those specs.
