pic: The Aluminum Magnet



Behold the only known example of an aluminum magnet in the world!

Thanks to Cody Carey and Team 306 for the nickname. :slight_smile:

That made me chuckle. :slight_smile:

A fitting nickname it is, seeing as how you shut down any offensive robot that you wanted to. I would be proud if we’d gone that route this year and done half as well as you did.

You guys did just fine - you were a scoring machine on the low row - I really respect the bots who can fight through anything and still put 'em up. You have good reason to be proud of what you accomplished!

Hey Travis, so all we had to do was use titanium and it would have repelled you guys? Would have been nice to know before the finals at Buckeye…:smiley:

wouldn’t an Aluminum Magnet be like a Golden Hammer?

Which way is it polarized? - I gotta get the guys working on re-polarizing our own aluminum magnet to repel bots like yours :smiley:

:cool:

Ours is cheaper and more entertaining. :smiley:

After I made the “Aluminum Magnet” post, I actually did go online and do a little informal research on whether aluminum had any magnetic properties under weird situations - thanks for posting this.
