Quoted from tamoore:

The switch is an EOS switch. It reduces the power to the magnet once the ball is in there.
When you don't have a working switch, the glove still works, it just remains at full power until the ball is dropped.
My switch isn't working, and my magnet never gets hot. The ball is only really in there for less than 10 seconds at a time anyway...

From my understanding, this is half correct. The switch does drop the power to the magnet once closed. But what i read in a few places (assuming you have the 2nd rev of the code i think) is that if the switch is not activated after a certain time (milliseconds) that the ball is shot up, then the CPU reduces the power anyway (as part of the code). I've had two JMs, one never had the switch, the other worked intermittently, so i removed it and have never had a problem since - unless the credit dot really annoys you!
