      Information
      The Big Cheese was originally built by Roger Plant from Langport, Somerset. It was the second robot in his team built after his previous creation the Mule. The Big Cheese took part in Series 3 of Robot Wars where it reached its heat final losing to Chaos 2 and after it was retired to make way for Roger's new robot Wheely Big Cheese. The Big Cheese was armed with a very powerful hydraulic lifter that could lift robots up in the air very effortlessly even managing to do so to Sgt Bash in Robot Wars. In 2008, Roger Plant sold all his robots and Big Cheese was sold to Jack Prophet in 2008 who formed Team ThunderCheese.
