Yes, we need to see what you're talking about. Pictures are always very helpful.
See if you can make it so that the switch will be triggered as the arm approaches the end of it's travel, not when it reaches it. And so that the switch is activated as the thing touching it goes by, not as it runs into it. Hard to explain, but make it so that it works sort of like a cam, pushing the switch from the side, not directly in it's face.
We've had lots of trouble with limit switches in applications like this...so this year we have pneumatics doing all of the arm moving stuff, and the only motors on the robot turn stuff that can keep spinning as long as it wants to
