Re: Minibot climb rate

Quote:
Is there any gap between the magnets, or are they butted right up against each other?

How did you secure them to the wheel?

Did you alternate them N/S ?
The magnets are butted right up against eachother and are alternated. To stick them to the wheel we took electrical tape and made a loop to make it act like double-sided tape. Then we used a layer of electrical tape on top of the magnets to hold them to the wheel. Overall the minibot worked well, the main issues were silly mistakes made when hooking the battery up or when setting it up before a match (forgetting to set it to turn on). but overall when we didn't mess up before the match the minibot worked well.
