Tron

[PJ-27]

Re: Tron

Dan was playing around with a similar idea and seemed quite keen until I pointed out that it would be ineffective against Ali, Ti (wood) or any of the plastics (Polycarb, Nylon, HDPE) which are pretty popular in robots.

I'm assuming it would work against Hardox and obviously any steel used and I don't see Nickel or Cobalt catching on as robot armour.....

some answers

The north and south poles are on the same side (the front) so the magnetic field is very small the armour of the opponent robot would serve as the keeper,

I doubt if much if any of the magnetic flux would penetrate too far into the robot, so it will not cause any problem.

I know about the wooden or plastic robots but even these have some parts that could be steel on the outside and I'm feeling lucky!

If we don't try new things we could end up with a field of wedge flippers

Re: Tron

Thanks craig!

Jonny- i doubt it would cause much of an issue... in 360 ive got the rx double sided taped down on top of its magnet running right next to a big brushless motor... and ive never had interfearance issues
