Default Ban microswitches!

Yes, I hear the payload bay doors have confused microswitches, making it
basically a manual job of controlling the motors.

Well, I hate these little items, the various arms, plungers etc thatyou need
to operate them stick and get out of alignment. I'm rather surprised the
Shuttle does not use some kind of proximity detector or something instead.
