Magnetic Wheels

Wheels in lab kit are magnetic!?? lab kit can go vertically ? excuse me ,for my English !

No, the wheels in the lab kit are NOT magnetic.
These robots can NOT drive up walls vertically.

Where I buy robot with magnetic wheels with our system

Since this dialogue is not technical support related, I’m moving this thread into the general forum where members of the VEX community can help answer your design related questions.

Answer the questions ,please !

:D. I’m sure Mr. Neun wanted the community to have input on this.

To go vertically up a wooden wall, a magnet would not help you. For a common household wall, I would recommend wheels that are wrapped in some sort of adhesive material, tape is the first thing that comes to my mind, but it is definitely not the best thing out there.

If you google, “vertically climbing robots”, you can find some excellent ways to alter the VEX wheels in order to get them climbing up some walls.

Why don’t you just use a system of fans to suck air on the underside of the robot so the robot “sticks” to the wall? Then the wall won’t get all sticky and you don’t have to worry about the adhesive weakening.

I thought about that…but the thing is, that the fan system might have to be a bit more developed than a simple fan attached to the robot. And depending on the weight of the robot, the system of fans can get complex and cumbersome.

or you can use those sucktion cup things
but then it would have to be on a perfectly flat surface
(i doubt wood would be that smooth)
thats all I could think of

Execuse me for my English and many questions. But It is interested on for me.I want do robots ,who can go vertically. Do you reccomend me buy your kit tank-tread and glue rare magnets !? Is it good idea ?

You don’t HAVE to buy the tank tread kits, but it might be a good idea.

Once again, if your wall is not metal, then putting on magnets would not help you climb vertically.

What? If your water is not metal? Uh… I’m not sure if you made a mistake or if i’m just stupid.

I totally meant to put wall…I must’ve taking a sip of water when I was typing that in…oh well. A quick edit and no harm done. :smiley:

My wall is metall.And why I don’t buy your tank-tread ?

Well, you could just use the wheels that come in the kit, but if you’re attaching magnets, it might be a better idea to use the tank treads.

ok.But in tank tread have place of magnets ? And in where in wheels а place for magnets ?!
