Re: encoder for cam-driven kicker?

We are also using a limit switch on our cam, and it usually works quite well.

One problem we ran into is that our kicker is adjustable and at high energy the whole robot shakes enough that the limit switch vibrates and can give a false reading that has to be programmed around.
