They do, magnets act as a second gravitational pull, but in this case it wasnt strong enough to keep the minibot moving

Re: Team 3716 Minibot
Are you lifting the battery with the minibot, or holding it off to the side?

Right now we are still prototyping so we are holding the battery. We have a few other designs we are looking into.

Re: Team 3716 Minibot
I have a question. In the rules they mention AA magnets. What type of magnets are these? Or they are just regular magnets?

Re: Team 3716 Minibot
Notice that all the other items on the list have a letter preceding them. Magnets are #27- AA.
