Springs on a minibot?

<G46> MINIBOTS may only be used to climb the TOWER.

I don't know if launching would be allowed.

what if you were to us some sort of rounded magnet attached to a drive motor with another two round magnets, all on seperate axles, so that they are in a triangle shape, would the magnet on the drive motor be able to push that up? or would u need too powerful a motor to be able to go up the pole fast enough?

Depends on how we interpret "climb".

Here's another thread on the same topic: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=88428

On the magnet note, that is a good point about affecting the surrounding electronics XD... forgot about that ~.~

Well, FTC and FRC parts are different, right? Just because the electronics in FTC aren't affected won't mean the electronics from FRC will also hold up.

That limits what the MINIBOT can do - it's only function is to climb the tower. It doesn't say anything about how that climbing is accomplished.

Folks - Unlees you want to name specific piece of eqmt that is sensitive to magnetic fields, don't worry about their effect on 99.9% of "electronics". There won't be any effect.
