I just wanted to make sure that I'm interpreting the rules correctly. It just doesn't seem like that great of an idea to actuate a limit switch with a servo or soleniod or something to dynamically change the setting.

Last year there was a thread about this. The way to do it completely within the rules, is to use a servo to act on the "limit switch." This year there is no rule limit on how many servos you use on your bot, there will be a point where you run out of places to plug them in.
