You can make an apparatus to keep the switch in the NO position when it hits, but a push button type of switch is the easiest and (should be) the most reliable.

A push-button type of switch is not on the approved list of materials for the minibot. Check <R92> - the only type of switches allowed are limit switched (I've never seen a push button marketed as a limit switch) and common household light switches.
