Re: Magnetic Minibots and How You Can Do it Too

Just to add another vote of confidence: I used several magnets from K&J in 2006 for an industrial application, and enjoyed good service from them.

It's good to see them collaborating with FIRST teams in this way.

Re: Magnetic Minibots and How You Can Do it Too

223 is using these on our minibot(I believe they were also used on our minibot at NJ too...) and they work great. Hope to see them at PHilly these weekend, I know one of our mentors emailed them about it.

Re: Magnetic Minibots and How You Can Do it Too

Did anyone browse through the different magnets they have? I noticed the 4"x4"x2" block that has over 1200 pounds of pull. How the heck do they ship that thing? If it gets anywhere close to the side of the ups truck it's never coming off!

The home delivery UPS truck bodies and shelves are made of Aluminum, so no worries there. Now walking it out of the truck the door latch is steel. Not to mention the sorting equipment, fork lifts ect along the way.

1200 pound magnetic pull is a safety hazard and no one should seriously consider ordering it. Imagine if your hand was in between the magnet and some metal. Yeah...

I would imagine they just put it in the center of a big box.

Magnetic force drops off very rapidly with distance.
