What is your plan for the electromagnets? If you can not find them, they are simple to make yourself out of fine insulated (varnished) copper wire. You will have to do a little bit of experimenting to get the streingth just right. Wrap the wire into (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I'm sorry if this is a bit off the subject- Does anyone know where you can get small electro-magnets in the UK? Nobody seems to sell them. I am thinking of making a robot with electromagnets. BEN (24 years ago, 11-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics)
