- "The construction of Wedgehog was very 'make it up as you go along'. We had a vague idea of the set out of the components we had, but no exact designs were ever made. I find this approach much more fun and much faster as long as you know what you're doing."

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, it lost in the heat final to Robot the Bruce.

[edit] Series 1
Wedgehog broke down a metre 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. It was awarded the second goal because it had last touched the ball before Dead Metal inadvertantly pushed it in. Dreadnaut had the advantage in the Semi, but its engine burned out, putting Wedgehog through. Finally, Robot the Bruce bulldozed Wedgehog onto the grill, ending its challenge.
