Re: Is this legal

Let's just blame FIRST for not being specific enough about entanglement and blocking. I agree that a wedge is legal for a defense, but illegal when used as an offense. I never believed that you guys intented to flip people over and/or inhibit motion, but a wedge could quickly go that route. Don't worry about our bot though. When I get to work on it, I am going to prevent access to the undercariage of our bot with plexiglass and self-tapping screws. Try flipping us now *Sticks out tongue*.

BTW: I think that ramming robots at high speed is against <G25> so if you do flip over by doing that, it is your fault because you violated a rule to do that.
