Re: Mini-Bot Mangets

As said above, I will again warn you and anyone using these magnets:

THEY ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE NEARLY LOST MULTIPLE FINGERS MANY TIMES, SINCE I WORK WITH THESE MAGNETS A LOT OUTSIDE OF ROBOTICS. THEY MUST BE HANDLED WITH EXTREME CARE AND KEPT AWAY FROM COMPUTERS, PHONES, ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, ETC. THESE ARE NOT TOYS, I REPEAT, THESE ARE NOT TOYS!

just wanted to make sure people know how dangerous they can be, but at the same time, they are quite useful, which is why i work with them a lot. the last thing i want is to see people get hurt by these things. safety is always first. be careful, and good luck everyone!


p.s. i know people who have actually had to get fingers, toes, and even entire hands amputed because they were fooling around with neo magnets. even with a hand in between, they will pull towards each other with a MASSIVE amount of force. Actually, 2 neo magnets larger than only a few centimeters can snap together with enough force to break fingers like toothpicks.
