Triangular wedges become a bit of a plow shape. This becomes useful in
tabletop matches. Some spinners opt to place their weapon head as close to the
tabletop matches. Some spinners opt to place their weapon head as close to the

If the front is the top of the "T," it makes a good shape to setup a
ramming surface. The drive motors are wheels are then mounted behind that,
