Wedgehog

Wedgehog was a lightweight robot that participated in the first series of Robot Wars. It was a black aluminium wedge, with a pickaxe as its weapon. It was substantially lighter than the rest of the robots in its heat; it defeated Dreadnaut in the Arena, who was 64kg the heavier. However, they lost in the heat final to Robot the Bruce.

Robot History
Wedgehog broke down a meter from the end of the Gauntlet after taking the maze and becoming impaled on a spike, placing third. In the Football Trial, Wedgehog had attached panels to help control the ball. They were awarded the second goal because they had last touched the ball before Dead Metal inadvertantly pushed it in. Dreadnaut had the advantage in the Semi, but their engines burned out, putting Wedgehog through. Finally, Robot the Bruce bulldozed Wedgehog onto the grill, ending their challenge.
