Re: Mechanical limit switches - acceptable practice?

Actually I'd not like to put FRC legality aside, if it's against the rules then we don't want to do it.

Our motor controllers are Talon SR's and not Jag's with CAN controlled limits, and to focus on one of the scenario's - lets go with the switch was physically damaged during a match (and it was), so we can leave programming out of the discussion for right now unless the thinking is to add another monitor in addition to the limit switch.

Yes the normally closed limit switch would need to be rated for the current draw of the bag motor.

Just wondering if this is possible and legal.
Thanks for the reply!
