Tetrix Switch not allowed?
We just got back from the Niles competition in michigan and when we had out minibot inspected, we had one of the tetrix switches that came with the kit that triggers when hit by the pole, then we had a toggle lamp switch on top for the top of the tower.
While having it inspected, were told that both switches are technically not allowed because the tetrix switch is not a light switch and the lamp switch is not allowed because it is a LAMP switch not a LIGHT switch. We were passed however but told that at the state level this would not be an allowed minibot. Also, there were many teams there that had multiple regular limit switches on their bots and when asked, they said they had no opposition from minibot inspectors about limit switches being illegal.
Has anybody had a similar experience with having their minibot inspected?
