Re: Most creative use of a part or material in 2008

Unfortunately I never got a chance to see their robot up close, but I heard that Team 100 (WildHats) used magnetic reed switches from a window alarm system to monitor the position of their elevator, and a bike disc brake to anchor the elevator drum in place when extended. At any rate, it worked very well for them at SVR!
