I think that your real savior will be the drivers with protection. Sensors will deal with some of the mishaps and abuse, but to avoid damage you also need a sturdy circuit.

I followed the previous posts and saw that you moved to drivers that have the protection on-board. You won't regret that change.

"When little humans (i.e children) are involved a lot more can go wrong. Wrong would cause damage to the structures. To prevent things from going wrong, I added some sensors."

You are so nice. You opted for sensors when a 'no children allowed' sign would have been so much easier. [emoticon:4191f5ee34e248a29fa0dbe8d975f74a]

It is a good idea to include check and verify steps to the process.

Just because you command an action does not mean that the action was done or completed correctly.
