Re: Which sensors should be used throughout the robot?

A question for those teams trying to limit the use of mechanical limit switches, don't you need some to have a "dry" connection to stop your mechanism at the extreme limits?

We have used and continue to use mechanical limit switches to feed directly into the jaguars to stop the jaguar if the limit switch is hit. We have struggled to mount them securely and precisely so they do the job without breaking. They always seem to be an afterthought. So I am looking for something better.
