Re: How to get minibot down?

Limit switches seem to work for us. Limit switch that makes the motor(s) run when the 'bot is on the pole, and a limit switch on the top for when the minibot hits the top (turns off motor(s) and coasts down). Only problem with this option is that coasting and falling may seem the same, but one is far more deadly for your minibot.
