Instead of using a switch, we just used 5A fuses on the minibot - it's a bit of a pain to switch them each time (they blow as soon as the motors try to drive through the top of the pole), but we don't have to deal with any... switch

How long would it take for a 5 amp auto-reset fuse to reset? I wonder if that's a possible solution to ensuring the tower is triggered...

EDIT: then again, it needs to be an equivalent type fuse to the Tetrix one. Oh well...

good find, and good post. will certainly help some teams. Any idea how much force is needed to push the switch on/off?

Wow! What a great idea! Way to think out of the box!
