*NEW* WEDGE RULES:
-Wedges have been a contravertial thing in previous Battlebots so I've decided to try doing something about it
-Not acceptable wedges:

-If it's okay with the majority involved, I will make the final call on if the wedge are acceptable.

JUDGING
- Fights will be judged on significant attacks and control of match.

- Moros, Biological Assault, Death Incarnate V 2.1, and Ryu: Hellfire will automatically be re-entered for winning the last tournamnet
- If MikeNCR, Akshaylan, or Thyrus want to enter something else they can send me a new bot

Looks good, liking the wedge rules. Hopefully I'll have some stuff ready for this :D

Do metal hinges need to be raised up too?

Shield · « **Reply #3 on:** April 12, 2014, 06:03:41 AM »

I'm so ready for this. Just gotta edit Fortune's skirt

RedAce · « **Reply #4 on:** April 12, 2014, 06:07:55 AM »

I've been looking forward for this and I'm ready this time. I also like the additional wedge rules to try to make this fair.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #5 on:** April 12, 2014, 08:14:02 AM »

well damn. going to have to make a quick update to BuffalOWNED Evolution, then I'll be ready.

027's probably going to enter some bots too.

Merrick · « **Reply #6 on:** April 12, 2014, 08:51:38 AM »

As always, I'll enter all 4 weight categories.

Elementos · « **Reply #7 on:** April 12, 2014, 09:20:57 AM »

I've been waiting for this for a long time.

You're definitely getting Bad Wedge Blues for the LW and Jellybean again. The other classes may or may not happen.

I AM ENTERING THIS!

akshaylan · « **Reply #11 on:** April 12, 2014, 12:12:27 PM »

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

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.

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

but metal hinge wedges work exactly like real life skirts, a la biohazard...

I don't know what game you've been playing, but that's not how the metal hinge behaves in DSL 2.1.

it seems like it for me

MassimoV · « **Reply #16 on:** April 12, 2014, 02:01:15 PM »

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.

cephalopod · « **Reply #17 on:** April 12, 2014, 02:03:57 PM »

The way axle wedges behave is more of a comparison to Biohazard's wedges if anything CAN be compared to them.

playzooki · « **Reply #18 on:** April 12, 2014, 02:06:32 PM »

ah ok, but doesnt it work for low robots? and isnt it supposed to be used as a servo to press the ground?

and axle wedges are a pain to look good with

Mr. AS · « **Reply #19 on:** April 12, 2014, 02:07:12 PM »

IIRC you have to actually wire the hinge and spin/fire it like a motor in order to have it function like biohazard.
