Re: How to get minibot down?

We have a 3-way light switch on our minibot. When the minibot reaches the top of the tower, we have it so it turns the light switch to the "OFF" position.. this basically crosses the leads of the motors, causing the minibot to come down nice and slow. You have to get the wiring right though; between the motors and the battery (we also have a separate limit switch on there as well). Hope this helps! Send me a PM if you need more assistance or more detailed information.
