WIP Under-track sensor

It's been quite a saga getting this to work well. This Mindstorms touch sensor takes a surprisingly-large force / deflection to actually register anything.

 

That makes it very challenging to mount in such a way that it can reliably detect contact, while also not getting hooked-up on things that it's supposed to slide over. The "middle dock position" is the main culprit - we need to be able to both detect it and smoothly move past it ...
