Question
Can we use potential energy (ex. compressed air) not for propulsion but for a capturing mechanism? Are magnets allowed on the plane?
Answer
No, as per rule 2.18, any form of compressed gas is not allowed. Also, magnets are only allowed on the aircraft for capture closure purposes. As per rule 8.6, no magnets are allowed on the payload or designated landing zone (DLZ).
