What recommendations do people have so teams
1. Don't burn out climber motors
2. Don't break the field

As Bruceb noted, you could have some way to detect a spike in current that the climb motor is drawing, and use this as a trigger to stop running the motor. (I'm not a programmer, but I know that the control system lets you monitor current outputs.) Or, you could set up a system where there is a flexible plate over a limit switch, such that when it is pushed against the touch sensor the plate will bend down and trip the limit switch. This way it could apply the required force to activate the sensor, but stop you from trying to tear the airship apart.
