This is the first bot I ever built in Ironforge, and I think it's pretty mean.

What do you think? Ok for a first bot?

It's not bad at all!
What you may want to remember is DSL =/= Ironforge - DSL Bars aren't great as extenders here. I'd use some extenders as the arm and curve it slightly (RedAce did a good example of this maybe yesterday?) so that the chance of you hitting with the arm is lessened.
As it's a LW, adding another weapon system would be dumb, especially when a lot of the components your using are already 'light' ones. Just make the hammer even more brutal. :)

It seems, theoretically, a good idea. Using a wedge and then smashing a hammer down on them, but, honestly, it would make more sense to use more than one weapon, or possibly some form of spinner, as the short time a robot spends on a wedge could be more easily exploited. I couldn't tell you how the battery situation is, though, because you're covering them with ballasts.
Please, only give advice when you are absolutely sure about what you are saying. If you really want to give advice to people on building, be sure to be active in your showcase and have those more knowledgeable teach you, first.

thats a very good looking bot, and an excellent use of space, i am slightly worried on the efficiency of the wedge but the wheel guards and wedge working together looks like it could trap a bot long enough to get a hit it. take this post with a pinch of salt since i aint the best at ironforge (thats craaigs job) but yes this is a pretty mean lightweight =).

it's very narrow, see if you can make it wider for both stability and to more easily hit opponents
