You can use the limit switches still but they would plug into the sidecar i believe and then you could allow the program to decide what happens to the jaguars based on the input (or lack of input) from the limit switches
Please, please be careful with the advice you are trying to give rookie teams!!

That entire post is wrong, the Original Poster clearly stated they are working on the minibot which is completely different.

Joe, Alan and Brian are right on the money. Explain what you are trying to do and we'll see if we can come up with a simpler legal circuit to help you do it.
