WHY IS PWN FAILING NOW AND NOT WHEN WE FOUGHT THEM  :mad:


I was asking myself the same question as well. I still haven't found out why the wedges go under the ground.

Pwn, from my experience, bots with metal hinge wedges tend to do that when they don't have other means of front support.
At least that's what I think.

It actually tends to happen more often to 1-piece wedges than to others wedge setups.  This is why I added an aluminum skirt to the front of Hydrosphere to act as a stabilizer.

^^ True

Both do use small wedges and DSL bars on their metal hinges. Unlike flat sheets on metal hinges, these normally don't go under the ground (and are wedgier :P)

Wedgier my ass!

^^Speaking of which, I never received credit for IT's design.

But yeah, if you're forced to use skirts as wedges, make sure you prevent them from sinking into the ground.
