**Update 2026-06-17:** This free sample program is closed. We are no longer accepting new applications. Existing commitments already confirmed by Zubax remain valid and will be handled separately. The original announcement is preserved below for archival context only; please do not use it as an active application channel. * * * We will ship a [FluxGrip FG40](https://fluxgrip.zubax.com/) — our electropermanent magnetic gripper — completely free of charge to any university or an individual maker on request, conditional on FluxGrip being subsequently featured in academic papers, technical articles, social media, or any other mass media. We made a great product but we need to spread the word with your help. To claim your free magnets, please email [sales@zubax.com](mailto:sales@zubax.com), [contact us via Telegram](https://t.me/zubaxrobotics), [X at us](https://x.com/ZubaxR), or post a comment below. Please include a very brief description of what you are researching/building, and where your work will be published. We may ship multiple magnets if your work requires so. The number of magnets is limited so don’t postpone this. ![image](https://forum.zubax.com/uploads/default/original/2X/b/ba7b6d8e50b2629079a98646dd17f2c330809ae4.jpeg) [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/IDwQpfHZ3oo/maxresdefault.jpg "Why Every Drone Needs THIS Magnet - Next-Level Payload Tech") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDwQpfHZ3oo) [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/FqN77SZF5zU/maxresdefault.jpg "EEVblog 1656 - MAILBAG: ElectroPermanent Magnet, DIN PSU's, Sponge, Beelink EQ14 N150 PC") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqN77SZF5zU&t=455) ---

Hello! I am CTO of Custodia, an animla tracking and monitoring startup spinoff of KAUST university in Saudi Arabia ([https://www.kaust.edu.sa/en/](https://www.kaust.edu.sa/en/)) where I am doing a master degree in Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship I just saw the post in X of the FluxGrip, I watched a review as well in your forum and I think this is a very nice application for our animal tracking collars. We are making animal tracking collars for wildlife and livestock with environmental restoration purposes. We would like to add the FluxGrip as part of an experimental automated drop off system to disturb the less the animals once the studies and necessity of tracking the animals ends, I am sure this will fit perfectly because it does not consumes power while in resting mode Please check the images of our trackers in a camel: ![WhatsApp Image 2026-03-27 at 9.03.23 PM](https://forum.zubax.com/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6ac5de77ffb47675bb915fa0068e6cf0bc030ea0.jpeg) ![WhatsApp Image 2026-03-27 at 9.03.23 PM (1)](https://forum.zubax.com/uploads/default/original/2X/a/aee76b549df8a0340e490f7947f5cbf343d0e1eb.jpeg) ![WhatsApp Image 2026-03-27 at 9.03.24 PM](https://forum.zubax.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/72c0aa5dcbd5fabe39e913c38fcb081568573850.jpeg) This are our pages where we post and we would publish the results of our tracker with the added drop off system using FLuxGrip : [https://custodia.world/](https://custodia.world/) [https://x.com/GilbertoCSUS](https://x.com/GilbertoCSUS) ---

Hi there, we just sent an email to your team requesting a free sample. We are a robotics group from Wuhan University, China, and have been working on EPM-based UAV docking for a while. The two pictures below show our EPM docking work published in RAL, and our ongoing UAV-quadruped collaboration experiment. Our next step is to use FluxGrip to physically couple the UAV and the quadruped together. Really looking forward to hearing from you! ![图片2](https://forum.zubax.com/uploads/default/original/2X/3/38e893ee87a6e1596556df28db0de0860df1429f.png) ![图片1](https://forum.zubax.com/uploads/default/original/2X/5/53053275e80cb72b279b93247c9c8a10a44aa452.png) ---

Hi @Fei506, Thank you — UAV docking and UAV–quadruped coupling are relevant fits for FluxGrip. We can provide one FluxGrip FG40 free of charge under the standard sample program terms. In return, we ask that you publish at least two public materials prominently featuring FluxGrip and Zubax — for example a project/research page, technical article, lab update, video, conference/demo note, or social media post. The important point is that FluxGrip is clearly visible and named. Please email [sales@zubax.com](mailto:sales@zubax.com) with: 1. Your shipping address 2. A phone number for the courier 3. Explicit confirmation that you accept the publication terms above Once we have these details, we will reserve one unit for you in the next manufacturing batch. Best regards, Pavel ---
