Re: Light Switches on Minibot

We used a common limit switch that comes in the kit of parts and bent the long metal piece around itself so when it gets pushed down, it stays down. So when the minibot reaches the top, the switch get's hit, the battery is removed from the circuit, a new circuit is completed that shorts the terminals on the motors so the minibot comes down nice and slow.
