Re: Is this legal

Wedge strategies are effective if used as defense. In 2003, we used a wedge on each end of our robot for defense only. How many teams drove up on the wedge and tipped, even on the ramp? Not many. This year, we have wedges on our robot for stabilization purposes first and defense second. If someone drives up on us and tips, that's not our problem.

That said, I think that team 11's frame is perfectly legal if used for defense. And, it sure looks cool!
