You guys are forgetting the permanent magnets that are also part of the system. I don't think the sensor plate would move much, if at all, unless one of the electromagnets is turned on to make it do so. When SR is off, wouldn't the potential movement of the sensor be a problem? This is, of course, just me thinking out loud. I'd love to see something more official on how the SR plate behaves when not in use. Speaking of which, someone really needs to come up with an internet-friendly way of saying "thinking out loud," since we're all actually typing. "Typing out loud" doesn't work, because on the internet, no one can hear you screa... er, type. Also, "speaking of which" doesn't really work either, does it?
