Here are some examples:

Here's Hazardous Contraption. This is Nary's old bot and it won BBEANS 4. As you can see here, HazCon uses 2 skirt hinges. One for getting under a bot, and another for feeding the bot into the weapons.

And this is BatmobileAI. Not the best of its type, but I didn't have enough time to look for better examples. These are probably the easiest wedges you could use. Although heavy, they are almost on par with snapper wedges. Just attach, attach, and there you go. :D

That sound like a flipper, Which would need a burst motor. However, for wedges, a skirt hinge would be fine for a wedge, as their only made to get under other bots, not to flip them over

I agree with EVERY SINGLE WORD in Sage's post.

I guess that explains a few things. I guess that is a big step forward, since your building around the components, but your new HW is not a full potental, plus the weight of the wedges you have around 20 Kgs left over.

I tried making wedges with Skirt Hinges... But its IMPOSSIBLE... (See Canadian Wedge) Even a Wedgeless bot could get under that

I got under HazCon with the hinge thing.

Skirt hinges and snapper wedges need to be set slightly into the ground to add pressure to the motor. Be careful however, as too much or too little pressure can ruin the otherwise good wedge. If you're absolutely lazy, metal hinges usually pwn. XD

That means that Skirt Wedges can be better than Hinge wedges if setted up correctly? :O

Yes. Hazcon pulled this out a few times.

richyguy · « **Reply #154 on:** September 18, 2009, 06:31:16 PM »

so sumtin like this yer?

Sage · « **Reply #155 on:** September 18, 2009, 06:54:19 PM »

That looks decent actually. try getting a more powerful weapon on there, like a disc with some weapons on it. Saw blades are pretty weak. good choice on the wheels, but that thing in the back is going to make your wedges worse because it adds weight to the back of the bot.

richyguy · « **Reply #156 on:** September 18, 2009, 07:08:10 PM »

ok well ill get rid of that also i put on bigger wheels so it works upside down i used fatbo cnt post a pic tho

Reier · « **Reply #157 on:** September 18, 2009, 07:12:58 PM »

Raise the motors 1 notch and use Vlads.

richyguy · « **Reply #158 on:** September 18, 2009, 09:57:35 PM »

hey actually i want a vote on which is better. vlad or fatboy. cause ppl are both sayin fatboy are sumtimes gud and so are vlad so just tell me which u think is better to use.

Urjak · « **Reply #159 on:** September 18, 2009, 10:02:00 PM »

Vlads are by far better.
