Any magnet with a metal coating would work as well I would think.

Then I guess my only real concern is if it accidentally went off and it happened to land in another robot.

Watch team 2341, The Sprockets, at the world championship. We have perfected a magnetic grapple that works every time. Very similar to the one you have posted. Ours is delivered by a spring loaded arm.

Good luck all!!
