Our team was experimenting with real earth magnets from a hard drive on our mini bot. We would like to know if we need to remove the magnets from the hardware, metal mounting plate, before we use it on the robot.

Our team would like to use rare earth magnets that ore found on a hard drive. Can we use the magnet and it's attached hardware( a fixed plate ) as is?
Per Rule <R92>, magnets are permitted. All other materials (i.e. mounting plates) must meet requirements presented in Rule <R92> to be used on the MINIBOT.
If we purchase a magnet from a retailer and it is an assembly with the magnet attached to a steel base does the magnet material need to be removed or is the entire assembly the magnet. An example would be a refrigerator magnet with a hook and painted steel case
