Very true. But at least they used a recognizable definition of a "household light switch".

It's their definition of "limit switch" that leaves people scratching their heads - if it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it MIGHT be a duck, but only if it is tattooed with "I AM A DUCK" in at least two places will we recognize that it truely is a duck.

We'll see how it all plays out at regionals.

I interpreted the initial post differently. Is it legal to use two of the official tetrix on/off rocker switches ?

Hope so, since that is what our plan is.

Are they on the official FRC-legal Tetrix parts list, available at http://usfirst.org/uploadedFiles/Rob...ix%20Parts.pdf ?
If not, are they sold either as household light switches or as limit switches?
Is there any other way that you could possibly get them in via <R92>?


Hint: The correct answer is that your plan will need to change. How it will need to change is up to you.

The Tetrix On/Off Switch is on the last page of this document. We are using 1.
