Kadeena Machina is a robot which competed in the Robot Wars: Battle of the Stars, as part of the 2017 series. It is a two-wheel drive robot with a vertical spinning disc, which spins at 2,000rpm, and is capable of causing immense damage. The robot is armoured in 3mm HARDOX and 2mm steel, and has a top speed of 10mph.

It was designed by Paralympic gold medallist Kadeena Cox, who was mentored by Ellis Ware of the Pulsar team throughout the competition process. Kadeena Machina won all four of its battles in Episode 2 via knockout, making it the incumbent Battle of the Stars champion, alongside Arena Cleaner.

The name Kadeena Machina is a pun based on Cox's own name.
