| − | Another type is a skirt mounted on a metal hinge. Metal hinges cannot be rotated like a burst motor, and must be wired to move. When lowered flat up against the ground, they are much more efficient than classic skirt hinge wedges, can also usually go under Mako-style wedges and are usually just a little less efficient than snapper wedges. Popularized by [[Urjak]]'s [[Flipper]] and [[RAW]] entry [[Lousy Launcher]], and also by several of [[Naryar]]'s wedged bots. | + | Another type is a skirt mounted on a metal hinge.
