Re: Dead Mans Switch
If it were up to me, I'd route the main power through a large E-stop switch, and the drive power through the dead-man. Wiring the dead-man switch so that you can only drive when contact is made (and releasing the switch breaks the contact) is about as "fool-proof" as you can get, though it might be a bit more difficult to do.

My nephew...loves FIRST. He wants to be an X-Cat but since he lives in Atlanta and that's a heck of a long commute for meetings I told him he probably should strive to be the next best thing: a CircuitRunner. - Koko Ed [more]
