 I was dragged to the first team meeting in September my freshman year and a week later, found myself at Fall Classic. Needless to say, after experiencing the heat of a competition, I was in love. ... Robotics has become far more than just that. I get to do the coolest thing in the world. - Audrey Chu [more] |

Re: Electromagnet
You would need to use a power source that can supply plenty of current, so I would use a relay controlled by robovation controller (the EDU robot controller?) rather than simply take the current from the controller. As an electromagnet's strength comes from the amount of current you can pass though it, I would not recommend using the controller as the electromagnet's source of power.
Sparks PS: Be sure you don't short out the battery. Typical copper wire has a very low resistance. Don't let current run rampant through your system. Last edited by Sparks333 : 09-12-2004 at 20:42. |
