Well, I’ve searched through about 10 posts on limit switches and I have not come across one that addresses whether we are allow to use Vex limit switches. Can you provide the link to that thread or just answer the question? Thank you.

To make this easy, the GDC has answered in the Q&A that any switch labeled or marketed as a “limit switch” can be used. If it is not marked you are required to bring documentation showing that it is a limit switch if it not obvious to your inspector.
