Does this rule mean that we have to basically make box bots and not allowed to have an angled front or back end of our robot, such as /---\ . I am personally not a fan with this rule.
I sure am a fan. I know with my team, the wedge was becoming an arms race. At the BAE regional last year, we got tipped several times. This year we were going to build wedges to protect ourselve from getting tipped all the time in the qualifications when defense it at it's premium becuase team's are generally still working on their scoring mechanism. Basically, the wedge was becoming an arms race, becuase even if you didn't like them, you had to have them to keep other bots from accidently getting under you. Plus 10 degrees is still asthetically pleasing.
