Re: Contrary to popular opinion..."wedge" robots are out

I like this new rule. Defensive wedges are fine if used defensively, problem was, they weren't.
If you have a "defensive wedge" you really should not be able to push/ram at all, cus then it becomes and "offensive wedge". But when teams began to get penelized for tipping when doing such, they complained. Banning wedges solves this problem.
Note that also, there is a penelty for high speed ramming anyway.
