Yeah, I think that is what will have to be done. Right now the team is in a mindset where the control of mechanical parts are not part of their design. Some devices are even given to us saying, "this can not run against the mechanical stop," without thought of where they could put a sensor.
We have been using sensors, pots and microswitches to control mechanics for so long, the mechanical guys have just come to expect that it will be part of the design. We have a really good team effort in that the mech team knows that certain things can be taken care of with feedback and work with the electrical and software teams to make it happen. Anyone knows that some of the motors we have are strong enough to lift a full weight robot off the floor. If that power is applied without some form of feedback an arm could bend the frame or a pulley system could pull the motor out of it's mount before anyone could react.
