 I believe it is healthy to leave FIRST at some point and carry on with a well-rounded life (family, fun, school, & work). Focus your creative energy on developing your skills as a professional; then, come back to FIRST as a mentor later down the line. - Erin Rapacki [more] |

Re: Minibot Simple Circuit
Although we have yet to start the minibot, I've been thinking about using a layout like this to control the motors. I quickly sketched it up to share:
 S1 is the "pole" switch, which is activated while the minibot is touching the pole. S2 is a switch that is activated at the top of the run. It disconnects power & shunts the motors together, slowing them down. S2 is tricky, though. It needs to be a SPDT toggle switch, not just momentary. Also, it needs to be "break before make" style, otherwise you'd short the battery & blow the fuse.
