Re: first ant build diary!!!

Re: first ant build diary!!!
Most people tape a bit of acetate to the bottom of the wedge to help it get under things. Not having the wedge be very steep helps aswell.

You're not using it for armour, it's just there to get under things.

Re: first ant build diary!!!
Nearly everyone uses acetate and in a 2 wedge or pusher battle it is almost always decided by who has the lowest acetate.
