Re: Is this legal

Having seen all the controversy that wedge shape robots have caused in the past, I would certainly stay away from that design. Even if their purpose is strictly defensive, it is possible for them to accidental flip over a robot, and be DQ'ed. If a Ref see forward motion that he feels caused a robot to flip, he will call for a DQ. Remember all the flips that were part of "Stack Attack".

It is not worth the risk!
