Re: Linear Actuators

I think it woudl be useful. I've seen some teams try to use them before I told them it wasn't a legal motor. I think the easiest thing (for now) would be a piece of hardware that mounts to a standard CIM or banebot motor. Provide built in limit switches to attach to the control system/motor controller and you're all set.
