Because then you open up a whole new can of worms...exactly what angle is considered a wedge.

I don't recall seeing any incidences of wedges tipping other bots this season. It was such an offensive game anyway.

My team (since I've been on it) has never built a wedge bot. The only time I recall having an issue with one, was in 2003 when 111 was defending their stack and we drove up on them at some odd angle so that our treads were no longer making contact with the ground and we couldn't move. But that was our fault not theirs.
