Magnets and Electromagnets

Vex should create a new kind of electronic like electromagnets and magnets. This would make stuff like magnetic levitation, repulsion and much more things possible. I sure hope that vex would consider this and could possibly make it into a kit like pneumatics.

Not to offend but what would I need magnetic levitation for? I’m building a robot, not a bullet train :rofl:

it would be cool but it probley would not be allowed in over under, full volume and furture games and why would it be needed?

In IQ, almost everything is plastic so a magnet would be of limited use.
VEX GO does have an electromagnet for collecting the discs supplied in the kit.
