Re: Robot Cart Switches
Are you using a robot controller to control these things, or is it hardwired?
If everything is 12v, then automotive switches (in either case) will work fine as long as the current doesn't exceed the specifications. You can get these at RadioShack for a few bucks, or check your local electronics place.
(Our personal favorite was a switch RadioShack sold with a cover over the switch. After my experience in 2004 with autonomous, I'm glad it's now hard to enable!)
