Go to Post But should we "discriminate" based on how long your team has been around? If you think about it, FIRST's goal is to inspire students, right? ...But students on rookie and second-year teams, if anything, are in greater need of being inspired. - LauraN [more]

Re: What switch can be pressed from both directions?

Of course, with any of the roller or rocker switches, the switch should be beside the load so that as it moves past, it and shoves the roller or rocker aside. Alternately, it could be tucked safely behind the stop so that just the button sticks out. Somehow, you should ensure that your sensor doesn't get smashed when the load hits the stop a little faster than you intended.

Aside from the placement, which will have to be precise, what other problems may arise?
