100 points would be a brutal bonus if that was a real thing, though.

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.
