Team Big Cheese was a relatively successful team that competed in several series of Robot Wars. They competed in four wars and one Extreme reaching two Semi-Finals and two Heat Finals. They entered three Heavyweight robots, The Mule which made the Heat Final but also won Best Engineered Robot in Series 2, The Big Cheese which also reached the Heat Final before losing to eventual champions Chaos 2 and finally Wheely Big Cheese, their most well known robot that, aside from making two Semi-Finals, was famed for its flipper which made up most of the machine.

Team Big Cheese can also claim to be responsible for both the highest and furthest OotA seen on Robot Wars, using Wheely Big Cheese to flip Axe Awe out from the middle of the Arena.

Roger Plant

Roger Plant was the man at the heart of Team Big Cheese, entering The Mule by himself. He is a very experienced engineer having travelled the world with the RAF and worked with explosives in the depths of the sea. Roger Plant sold Wheely big cheese after Robot Wars finished. It was then bought by Team Hydra in September 2008.
