Technically, there are magnets in every game, built into the robots. Motors use magnets and copper coils, but I know what you mean. Magnet game pieces would be awesome! Magnet game 2017 anyone?
Not to derail this thread, but hoverboards are a perfect example of why LiFePO4 batteries aren't used in FIRST(yet). They are made with undersized batteries and incorrect charging circuits, so the high current draw overheats them(I think) and/or non-balance charging overcharges the cells. There are new smaller Segways which are probably safe.
