Re: Electromagnets??

I'm sorry to invade in your team's privacy. You don't have to answer this if you don't want to. What purpose would having a electromaget serve? The only practical application I could think of was disabling other robots. And yes electromagnets are illegal. The manuel does not state specifically that an electromagnet is not allowed, but if you got anywhere close to another robot... well let us just say that would not be the wisest thing to do. The manuel however does say that anything that is considered "dangerous to the crowd" is not allowed. I think it's safe to say that an electromagent would fall under that catagory. So that answers question of "Are electromagnets allowed?"
