If that's for the arm, we can just find the right cable and unplug that one
if it's acting up right before a match.  Labeling them was good for plugging
them back into the controller, but right before the match, when we unplugged
the wrong limit switch we did that because we had to follow the cable and it
was hard to find, so we ended up pulling a random cable hoping it was the
high limit switch.  At Atlanta, we should also label them for what they do,
like for the high limit, low limit, and tetra switch.

I don't know how safe a limit-switch override button would be.  If we over
tightened that cable and ground those motors...Jordon would have to drive
really lightly if we were to use an override.  Jim...your thoughts on the
subject?
