The Electromagnet
An electromagnet is a specific type of magnet where the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. The arm mounted on the VEX V5 Workcell has an electromagnet to pick up and put down disks that contain metal cores.

By setting the Electromagnet to boost, the user is able to energize the magnet.

By setting the Electromagnet to drop, the user de-energizes the magnet.
