Does any DSL bot Builder have found a useful usage of the 'Metal hinge' ?

I think Blood Runner might have been better with suspension.

I have built quite a few bots with metal hinge wedges. (See Lousy Launcher) They are not that good though, but do usually get under skirt hinges.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Even though they make pretty good wedges, they are way heavier (7 kgs, I think?) than the skirt hinges, which have far more use than the metal ones. You can't adjust for example the angle of the metal hinges, whereas with the skirt hinges you can. Also, less mounting points FTL.

why are metal hinges better for wedges?

They are heavy, and thus put the perfect amount of pressure on the wedge.
