Reset Button #15

To support resetting, we need to attach buttons to the arch and platform, wire them to the EV3 brick and prepare surfaces for them to press against.

The bottom rail reset button is attached and tested to work with the LLI implementation (from #19). The top rail reset button is attached, but so far not tested.

The top rail reset button has now been implemented and works, although there is a slight problem that sometimes occurs with the physical design of the thing it presses against, in that it sometimes breaks off or fails to properly press the button.

I tested it today, and there is still a problem with the top barrier. The reset button's stick goes in one of the bottom holes of the barrier and doesn't stop immediately. Solution could be making the barrier flat or putting a bigger piece on the button.

We improved the structure of the top button and barrier and adjusted the polling frequency and speed. Now the platform reset is working properly.
