Re: Contrary to popular opinion..."wedge" robots are out
I know that if this year's rules had not had a wedge restriction there is no way in hell we would NOT have had one this year.

Look at the designs of all 6 bots in the national finals last year, and how many of them were wedges. You will notice that they did not use it for ramming, but it DID allow for them to be pretty un-pushable, allowing them to play their game and pretty much ignore everything else.
