Re: Magnetic Minibots and How You Can Do it Too
This year many teams have focused on KJM magnetics to stick the mini bot on the pole. Magnets can have other uses on our robots. Some times teams have a device that can lock up, jam, or bind resulting in a broken gear train or smoked motor. Take some KJM magnets, add some design creativity and you can have a very cheap and effective magnetic slip clutch. Why would a magnetic slip clutch be better than a classic friction clutch? Keep this thought in your back pocket for future years.
