Re: Magnetic Lock

John,
Please ask the question on the Q&A. It will make the job of your inspector a little easier. In the past, if the magnet part attracted(moved) another part, it was considered to be a solenoid and not legal. If you are thinking of using this for a mechanism that would lock you into a hang position then remember that the robot is disabled at the end of the match and power to the device would be removed.
