I mean, surely those wedges will be bouncing up and down when the motors spin.

Oh, yeah, it does, a bit :P

The wedges aren't the best, but it's still cool

Yeah, it's a cool bot, but for a moment there i thought you'd found a way to stop "the wobble" which would've made it an amazing bot ;P

Yeah I've tried a many VSes with formats like that, always have had wobble issues. The wedged front could be utilized to help it...MW VSes are difficult, no matter what.

If you don't want wobbles make the weapons static.

They don't really wobble, just they make the wedges poor

DSA, three stacked blacks, 18 razors, everything baseplate mounted, only glitches used were EFFE and stacking

Don't look much special, but it's possibly the best heavyweight popup I've ever made. The reason being...

Consistently outwedges NWB, Hot Wheels and NF

Neither do I :P

I've tried to minimise it by rotating them so they're closer at the top, and since most HW spinners have overhead tribars anyway, they don't really seem to hit the gap

Looks a little like the new Radiance... but still nice.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

Knew that was coming :P

But actually, I made the chassis, mounted HPZ, one black, Snappers and DDTs a while ago (before summer holidays IIRC), and then finished it off today, when finished, realising the similarity myself

Insides?
OK

How does it outwedge Hot Wheels with those snappers?

Ugh, what I meant was I thought DDT wedges were better than snapper wedges.

Not always, I think you may find that NWB has Snapper wedges
