My son has a "olympiad" event called "Robocross". He has to build a robot that he would control, that drives around, picks up objects, and delivers them into a jar.
To that end, I designed a system where the robot is on tracks and drives using two DPDT momentary switches, turning like a tracked tank.
It works, but I do not like the switches. One, they have a cheap shit plastic ring/nut to hold them to the enclosure, and sometimes that ring slips on the threads.
Two, these switches require significant force to switch (and that is what affects that ring) and they are just not ergonomic. I want to find switches that are more feather-light and easy to operate with minimal force.
Has to be:
- DPDT * Momentary * Have quick-connect terminals
Any suggestions?
