Re: Electromagnets to pick up tetra?
There shouldnt be anything in the robot controller that could be dammaged by a magnet. The data in the controller is stored in an EEPROM which you have to access through a serial connection in order to erase. Thats what I think at least. What I know is that they designed the field with magnets in it, and plus, I have personally run a chiwopuha motor (electromagnets make motors go) on top of a robot controller just to make sure nothing happens, and it doesnt.
