Zakwak,
you might check out the link here: http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-14730. It might give you an idea of how you want to place them.

Happy build season!

David

Re: Where to place Photoswitch?

The best place for a photoswitch would probably as close to your minibot's point of contact with pole as possible. Keep in mind, however, that you don't want your switch interfering with the your minibot's attachment to the pole, so one way to solve the problem could be carving a hole/inset for the photoswitch to fit into without having it protrude from the area of contact on your minibot. Hope this helps!
