Re: 2 NORMAL Switches on a Minibot.

Simple is that. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
<R92> specifies that you can use:

M. limit switches
N. no more than two common household light switches

The GDC has clarified this in Q&A to mean:

-"Only items sold as "limit switches" are allowed on the MINIBOT."
-"For the purposes of the 2011 competition, a common household light switch is any electrical switch that would normally be mounted in a wall outlet box with household wiring, typically available at a home supply center (e.g. Lowes or Home Depot)."

If by "normal switch" you mean a toggle switch, my interpretation of the rules is that this would not be allowed. If you mean a household light switch or a limit switch that fits the above definitions, my interpretation of the rules is that this would be allowed.
