This is an add-on accessory for the totally awesome Vorpal Combat Hexapod. If you haven't seen that yet, then this thing won't make sense, so visit there first: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2513566. I made this all open source and respectfully ask you to consider supporting the project. We successfully funded on Kickstarter with hundreds of kits sold, and now we have our own store. We have more than just the Hexapod electronics, we have all kinds of things useful for small robotics and other projects: http://store.vorpalrobotics.com. + IMPORTANT: If you opt-in to receive our store monthly newsletters, you'll automatically be enrolled in a monthly prize drawing, with first prize being a $100 store credit and lots of smaller prizes too!

These can be used to distinguish teams during competitions, or just add a little fun to the project. Installing the Magnets ---------------------------- Each design has a receptacle for a 10mm diameter by 3mm thick magnet. The magnet should be installed with the South pole exposed. In our kits, north pole is marked with a dimple. Magnets on the robot should have dimples showing, magnets on accessories that stick to the robot should have dimples hidden. Pretty easy. The magnets, if they are the correct size, snap in. You may be able to do this with your fingers, or you may need to gently use pliers to force them in that last little bit. But for me at least, they never fall out. If they fall out for you, I'm sure a drop of superglue or hot glue will solve the problem.
