Too complicated and unreasonable!

I'd recommend you use The Force instead!

How do you suppose to get the robots to balance on top of you once you get them up there?

And wouldn't 298 lbs of robot crush you measly 149 lbs?

Mill the chassis out of a solid block of Aluminum, to retain maximum strength.

****** magnets. How do they work?

This is a great idea, although I'd suggest using an extremely rare earth aluminum magnet.

I don't want the force if i can't use force lightning, violates r36

Our arm mechanism will change the way this game is played!

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

I prototyped this today with two old robots and an electro magnet. Unfortinatly we all forgot something very important... Robots are made out of aluminium And aluminium is not magnetic so it doesn't work .

Unless you gt everyone to make steel robots, nah no one is that dumb *cough* 3662*cough*.

Luckily for you, if you aim just right, you can hit your electronics board, and it's sure to work with that! I mean, come on, whose c-RIO doesn't like a good old electro-magnet to the motherboard?!

That is ridiculous we would be violating r08, G26 and G27... Iwas trying to find realistic applications for this device withOUT breaking rules...


Even if it doesnt do damage I will be impressed if anyone is able to mount there crio in a way that it can suPport the whole robot.
