Which sensors should be used throughout the robot?

Re: Which sensors should be used throughout the robot?

I agree with a number of posters on this thread that limit switches are very good and extremely valuable in FRC robots.

However, I want to emphasize one item. Do NOT overlook the mechanical design of the switch actuation. I have seem too many (including our own robot in 2014) switches that were designed to be impacted by a mechanism, versus acting in a bypass fashion.

Thanks
