It's hard for me to explain, you really just have to get the right feel for it. Like no extra extenders randomly hanging off and stuff. Here's a link to the las page of his showcase, you can go back from there.

This is looking waaaay too messy. Try looking through Scrap Daddy's showcase to seem some quality IRL bots.

You can use it like a servo but it never stays and it makes for really crap wedges so there's almost no point in doing it. The only reason that I'm not banning it is because there's bots like Super Komodo who use them and I don't really consider those wedges cheap or ugly looking.

Yeah as shown in the picture below, the metal hinge doesn't bend beyond a certain point.

If the metal hinge behaved like Biohazards, the wedge would hit the ground instead of being suspended above it.

Guardian looks better than Obituary imo. I'd go for that.

Do metal hinges need to be raised up too?

I don't really know yet. I figure if you use some bad type of wedge on a metal hinge, i.e. spike strip, I think I'll let that slide.

If I send new robot, does my previous winner get replaced? Or can I effectively have two entries?

Yeah only one bot per weight class. Sorry about that, but if you sent something new, it would replace Death Incarnate.
