Do you understand why it is illegal or just that it is?
The Switch is rated for .5 amps (IIRC) while the pump can draw 10 amps. You may get away with it for a while, but it certainly isn't a good practice.
The battery needs to be velcro-ed, strapped, buckled, tied, bolted, glued, zipped, or stapled in place so that it can't fall out when (not if) the robot turns upside-down. - dlavery [more]
