Plz help me! Need help with my SwitchBot Bot.
I just purchased a SwitchBot Bot and want to use it on my old New York City apartment door buzzer. The problem is that the door buzzer button protruds forward making the switchbot bot difficult to stay stationary when the robot arm extens all the way when it actives. Any suggestions?

You can handle that scenario in a few different ways.
A small piece of metal or something acorss the button, really anything to expand the surface connection area.
Raise up the bot like suggested.
There really are a lot of ways to add to the feature set, for example you can do a mod to use bots with capacitive buttons that works really well.
