    nightmare would have been able to right itself if it had one wheel bigger than the other

    wouldn’t your first test when you build these things be “what happens if it flips over?”

      Arms for self-righting have been around for decades. Their absence here tells me that they must be somehow disallowed by the rules. Perhaps that is meant to add an element of risk to any top-heavy design. Without them, though, the winners will always be wedges, though in this case (as pure wedges appear to be banned) that probably means wedges sufficiently disguised to get a pass under the rules.

      good point.. i always thought the bulldozer design was pretty tight

      bulldozers look like bulldozers for a reason

    Do they ban pure wedges? Because pure wedges killed the original/

      I believe so... Everything has to have at least some sort of non-wedge weapon now.

        they should put the boring-but-dominant wedges in their own division and let the more interesting types fight each other

          I was so excited to see this last week! I remember the original Robot Wars, hosted by Craig Charles.
