The magnet will act as it's own current limiter....whatever the watt rating is, divide that by the voltage rating and you should get an approximation of the current it will draw. Make sure it's under 20 amps to be able to use a Spike...or whatever the maximum current rating of a Spike circuit is allowed to be (I just pulled the 20A number from thin air, you need to study the rules)
While [a college FIRST competition] would be pretty fun, I think that you'll see this build season that mentoring is a heck of a lot of fun too. (except when the kids pretend to cut their fingers off to see your reaction) - Beth Sweet [more]
