Re: Minibot magnets ?
We had originally attempted to, but we got access to neodymium magnets and left the hard drive magnets in the dust. I can't tell you for sure, but I dropped a hard drive magnet about 2-3 feet onto the top face of the tower assembly, and it landed, and immediately stuck back to the pole.
Depending on the weight, I would assume it's possible to use a number of hard drive magnets, if weight becomes an issue, look into neodymium. Our minibot was like 7 pounds at the end, and we had somewhere around 10+ Neo magnets holding it on.
