My only worry is getting multiple triggers with one press from noise on the channel. We're trying to implement a frisbee counter that count frisbees coming in and leaving the robot. We tried using the Counter class, but we kept getting random increases in the count from the limit switches. I'm assuming there was noise as the switch was pressed which made it think that there were multiple presses.
