Re: Define A Wedge

Inverse wedges will help climb. Should not be allowed according to the rules though. But last year, I know a couple team who followed the 12 feet per second rule and some that did not. It wasn't fair but people still did it. Same thing will happen this year with these type of machines. People will make them and inspectors will not see a problem.

Re: Define A Wedge

Ok a wedge... Anything that Team 302 does not create is not a wedge. In previous years at least. The wedge rule was made because of team 302. We kept getting penalties because other robots would drive up our wedge and tip over. they kept calling it a wedge and Lift but we never did the and lift so just make sure the wedge is 10 degrees or less

The quick answer is YES this is a wedge. It looks to be greater than +/- 10 degrees of vertical.

Technically, it is a wedge. Think about this: you could drive on top of an enemy robot (un/intentionally) and smash their control board.

If you were seeing a problem, then report it and don't complain about it later. At our event, they speed tested EVERY lancher at full speed.
