In order to get the robot to stop after it has pushed the competitor out of the ring, we came up with a touch sensor design that would stop the robot be it drove off the side.
The way this works is that once it reached the edge of the field, the trigger would be released and the robot would stop. However, over time we have found flaws in this. For instance, when the robot rotates or is pushed back, the trigger is released, causing the robot to stop mid action. This could be a serious problem during a match so the touch sensor was eliminated and replaced with another light sensor.
