There is also a third kind of wedge, called the Mako-style wedge or flail wedge. This kind of wedge has become popualr in recent times. The flail wedge is made by putting a skirt on an axle mount. It is best to mount the axle onto a solid support. When the match starts, the wedge lie almost perfectly flat on the ground. A weakness to this design however is that if you move to fast, the skirts may lift off the ground, giving your opponent a chance to hit. The flail wedge technique was as far as I know developed by [[Jules]]. (See the robot [[Mako]] or [[Diarrhea of a Madman]] for a good representation of the flail wedge.)

Another fourth kind are called "Morse Code Breaker" or "MCB" wedges. They use the odd collision mesh of the skirt hinge to make a wedge, and they are so far the best wedges, and can get under nearly anything. They are also used on [[Somebody]]'s GUMBA entry, Cutinator.
