Re: Adjustable Magnetic suspension?

I have worked in the 3D printing industry. I have heard about a lot of these "wonderful miracle technologies". Every time you see some thing like this, you need to look at it very critically. Always ask what this new, high tech, and likely extremely expensive, new technique actually gets you. In doing this you need to carefully define what properties are important to you in a possible solution. In this case you would have to ask what these magnets would do for you over a spring. My guess is in this case the fancy magnetic suspension would not give you any significant benefit over a traditional spring. The adjustable equilibrium point would be nice, but would such a system really be worth it for an FRC robot beyond the cool factor?
