If the armed bot is playing defense, fault would be assossiated depending on the situation.

If the wedge can drive backwards, then in most (not quite all) situations its the wedges fault. Especially in an open field layout like this year. If the wedge can drive backwards, it can turn then avoid the "brick".

Did I say anything about the wedge bot moving BACKWARDS? Let us suppose (as one possible situation) that there are two brick bots defending the same wedge bot, which, for all intents and purposes, and for reasons unknown, only has side wedges. One brick bot gets behind it so it can't move backward (and we are supposing that this whole scenario takes less than 10 seconds) as the other charges from the side. The brick bot coming from the side hits the wedges hard enough to go up, hits the top, and falls over. Whose fault is that?

Brick bots should know enough to stay away from inclined planes that are not shallow enough to climb without tipping. Yes, a brick bot should have a low CG, and most, if not all, do. But if the slope that it is driving up is too steep for it, it will most likely fall over.
