Minibot- activation

[Bill_B]

Minibot builders need to print out the rules governing minibot construction, especially the rule that lists allowable parts. Make a copy for each member of your minibot sub-team, make another copy for the box of parts you have collected as having potential use for your minibot. Make more copies for those sub-team members who will claim to have forgotten them at your next meeting. Make one for yourself, laminate it, hang it on a lanyard around your neck in the manner you sometimes see football defensive and offensive coordinators do on the sidelines.

These and other actions will help convince your team members that the rules are important and also shorten your design cycles considerably.

My idea was to use the same idea only reverse, meaning when the switch is tripped the 'bots code would activate. Does anyone know if this would be a viable method?

As for your question - the switch you mention doesn't appear on my copy of the rules, so I doubt you can use it.
