Wedges are a common body type of robot that doubled as a combat weapon. Before the beginning of the televised UK Championship, robots like Wedge of Doom and La Machine enjoyed considerable success in tournaments. Roadblock won the original UK championship with its wedged body, and the wedge remained a viable weapon early in the show until the prevalence of invertible machines and self-righting mechanisms.

abstract	Wedges are a common body type of robot that doubled as a combat weapon. Before the beginning of the televised UK Championship, robots like Wedge of Doom and La Machine enjoyed considerable success in tournaments. Roadblock won the original UK championship with its wedged body, and the wedge remained a viable weapon early in the show until the prevalence of invertible machines and self-righting mechanisms. After The Fourth Wars, most wedges were either combined with a form of flipping or lifting weapon or added to an invertible machine. Series 6 champion Tornado and Series 7 runner-up Storm 2 were among the invertible robots to use armoured wedges to breach ground clearances, even if the traditional tactic of overturning a foe was no longer the end result.
