Re: Electromagnets??

I would say that FIRST inspectors would invoke this rule to reject an electromagnet mounted to the robot's chassis:

<R58> All wiring and electrical devices must be electrically isolated from the ROBOT frame; the ROBOT frame must not be used to carry electrical current (this isolated ground arrangement is necessary due to polarity reversals that occur under certain operating conditions such as during motor direction reversals).
