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?"

Sorry I think maybe you guys misunderstood my intentions, I'm talking about a very small magnet that would work with our claw mechanism for grabbing tubes, the thing would probably be smaller that a dime and simply assist in closing and opening the claw.
