our original minibot prototype started out by using a magnetic tool tray one of our mentors had in his workshop:

we took the magnets out of the try and used those to attach the bot to the poll. We plan on using a 4 poll switch (if I remember the name correctly) to turn our robot off and a KOP limit switch to turn it on.
