Re: Is this legal
I just want to clarify some things. The robot is legal in the sense that it is not using the wedge to flip any bot. The wedge is not a bumper, it is part of the body. Cory up there is just searching for technicalities in the rules. What is the difference between using a net to entangle the arm(citing your example) and using a wedgebot to lift a robot off its motor wheels? In both cases, you are taking away some form of control over your bot; whether it be arm control or control of movement. Pinning a robot in a corner is legal because it is BLOCKING. Apparently the line between blocking and entrapping is blurred to you. And threatening to close the forum. Now that is just childish and cowardly. Just because the forum isn't going your way, you are going to close the forum. Professionalism isn't finding grey areas in the rules and exploiting them.
