Sounds like a plan. I need to have a look at Echo (BotBitz kit) and get it going. Your BotBitz kit did well at Nationals.

So are people interested in sportsman ant weights? I am thinking of building another Low Rider (clamp/lifter).

I am interested in one last event (possible sportsman) at the start of the year.

Sportsman means active weapon and means no wedges sharper then a 45 angle right?

I don't remember any limits on angles. The wedge must be part of a weapon and not be more than 25% of the width. But I haven't read the rules in a long time so I may be wrong.

Edit: I was wrong. You can't even have a wedge as part of your weapon.

2.2.4. No Wedges. A “wedge” is any part of a robot that in any position is capable
of elevating a flat sided box with ¼” of ground clearance more than ½” off the
floor simply by sliding the wedge under the box when the robot in question is in
any “normal” driving positions e.g. with its wheels on the floor.
2.2.4.1. Large plates extending from the robot that are flat or nearly flat to the
floor are not allowed.
2.2.4.2. Other static devices which have the purpose of removing the
opponent‟s wheels from the arena floor are not allowed.
2.2.5. Lifting, Flipping and Grabbing Weapons. An articulated “spatula”, parallel
to the floor is allowed, provided that:
 It complies with the “no wedge” rule (2.2.4) and
 It is no more than ¼ the width of the robot (as measured across the
wheels at their widest point) and
 It extends no more than 6” from the front edge of the robot.
