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: * [Thing 2513566: Vorpal Combat Hexapod](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2513566) I made this all open source and respectfully ask you to consider supporting the project.

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 recepticle 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 dimple 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 fingrs, or you may need to gently use piiers 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.
