I finally got around to testing out my switch. It works quite well on my test platform for my dual motor driver speed controller I am developing. So far I have only drawn ~1 amp through it but it should be capable of much more. It is definitely suitable for most antweight (1lb) and under robots and I expect further testing to reveal it will work for beetleweights (3lb) as well.
I need to come up with a accurate and repeatable way to test these. I am thinking about attaching them to a variable load like a brushless motor and a watt meter. Then I can measure how much current they can pull as well as how hot they get (my watt meter has a temp sensor built in)
