Re: What do you think of a wedge

I think I led the thread off topic when someone stated they wanted a defensive wedge on their bot, because they expect to get bashed when minding their own business - collecting balls, capping goals.

I tried to point out that should not be necessary, such teams would get disqualified...

but back to the idea of wedges - if you put one on your bot, does it fold down after t=0? I would think to be effective it would have to extend out, and you wouldnt want to pull your wheels inside the 30 x 36" footprint to make room for wedges - that would make you less stable.

As a rule, you want your wheels touching the floor as close to the edge of the space footprint as possible - "Wider is better!"
