The wedge seems to be a popular tool in this years toolbox. Having one is not against the rules but how you use it does. 179 and 229 both have wedge-esk rampdoms and neither of them have run into trouble because they don't use them agressively.

If you drive toward someone your wedge is designed to push them up and over. However if they drive toward you your wedge is designed to help you stay in place. The diffirence is subtle but key in this situation.

Look at it like this. The judges made the ruling because you tried to flip IE damage/disable another bot. Had a bot taken its arm and beat a bot into submission it would be disabled for the same reason. The arm doesn't have to be removed it just can't be used to do that.
