kiracofe8 will become famous soon enough
Although this would work, rule C17 clearly rules it out. "You must connect all sensors used on the robot directly to the analog or switch inputs on the Robot Controller or custom circuit board". Since the custom circuit board is not allowed to directly drive relays, I think you're out of luck.

Really, though, programming the pressure switch isn't that hard this year. Last year, there was just one switch, it was kind of difficult b/c you needed a bunch of software to handle the hsyterisis of the system. This year, with two switches it is not hard at all. If you cannot figure it out, e-mail me and I'll get you the code that you need to make it work...
