Re: Tetrix Switch not allowed?
I was the inspector you spoke to. The Tetrix switch is included in the list of Approved Tetrix Parts for minibots.
A push button switch might be considered a common household light switch, if it is sold as a "light switch". See this response on the official Q&A forum. Also see Team Update 12, which includes the following: "...anything sold as a 'light switch' for household use is allowed." In case an inspector is unsure about your switch at a future event, you should be prepared to show that it was sold as a "light switch".

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
