Electromagnets

[FRC1743]

Does any rule prohibit the use of electromagnets?

[GDC]

There is no explicit rule prohibiting electromagnets. However, any such device would qualify as a custom circuit/additional electronics. As such, the device must satisfy all applicable custom circuit/additional electronics rules. In addition, an electromagnet must not be used to construct a solenoid actuator, as that would be a violation of Rule <R53>.
