At this moment, our team is going with a design that uses magnets in close proximity to the pole to attach itself, although I'd like to look into alternate methods. I've been thinking about how to possibly attach magnets in the wheel rims, and I can't decide if it would be more worth it to drill many holes along the rim and attach many small neo-magnets, or, if there is a source of powerful flexible magnet sheets, line the rim with that. I've seen them before, but I can't find any that are particularly powerful. Ideas anyone?

No, it won't. Solid state electronics are much different from the floppy disks of ancient times. Even finding a powerful enough magnet to affect a modern computer harddrive is difficult, they are magnetically shielded.
