Re: Minibot magnets ?
816's Minibot weighed approximately 2.3lbs and used a single 40lb magnet spaced approximately 1/16" from the pole.
I'm not sure what a hard drive magnet is rated at, I'm sure they'll work, if you can fit enough of them on your minibot. I'd suggest going to your local hardware store and looking for magnets meant to hold things to tool boxes. Most of them are extremely strong and similar to what we used. If you'd like the Part Number (It's from McMaster-Carr so I'm not sure how much it'll help you) for the magnet we used, feel free to PM me.
