Re: Using Built-In Switches on Linear Actuators

We can't just buy any motor or device with an incorporated motor that we want and use it on our robots.

The only legal motors are listed in Table 4-1: Legal Motors on page 20 of the Game Manual Robot section.

In general, for actuators that we purchase on the open market, the motor it comes with will not be on the Legal list and will have to be removed and replaced with a legal motor.
