Robot statistics correct as of its most recent appearance on the show

St. Agro was an invertible wedge-shaped robot with two flippers which competed in Series 6 and 7 of Robot Wars. The team described the robot as a "double-sided double flipper" as it could work both ways up and had a flipper on each side - one on top and one underneath the machine - so it could flip robots whichever way up it was. St. Agro was eliminated in the first round of Series 6 but improved in Series 7, reaching the series semi-finals before eventually being knocked out by X-Terminator. The robot itself was taken out of competition after Robot Wars, only to be sold to Team Wave Power, who have rebuilt the robot as Maelstrom.

The team always garbed themselves in floral Hawaian shirts.

[edit] Series 6

St. Agro wedged underneath Warhog, but couldn't fire its flippers before Warhog got away. Its flippers had become stuck open, so it stayed out of the way of the other robots and hit the pit release. Unfortunately, its lack of a working weapon left it defenseless when S.M.I.D.S.Y pushed it down the pit.

[edit] Series 7

In contrast to Series 6, St. Agro proved itself powerful in its opening match. It flipped The Scrapper out of the arena, before attempting to do the same to Mega Hurts LT. It couldn't flip Mega Hurts out, so it flipped it over instead, taking it out of the competition. In the second round, it was flipped many times by Scraptosaur, but since it was invertible, it was unaffected. It eventually managed to get under Scraptosaur and flip it over. Scraptosaur couldn't self-right, so St Agro went through to the heat final. In the heat final, it flipped Ceros, but Ceros self-righted. It then pressed the pit release button, and came extremely close to shoving Ceros into the pit, but Ceros refused to let it. By accident, St. Agro steered into a CPZ, where Matilda took a big chunk out of its wheel. It then flipped Ceros again, crucially Matilda wandered from her CPZ and accidently got in Ceros's way at just the moment it came down. This meant Ceros ran out of gas and couldn't self-right. St. Agro did a victory wheelie, while Matilda tossed Ceros out of the arena with her flywheel.

In the semi-finals, St. Agro faced X-Terminator. It tried to get under X-Terminator, but X-Terminator buckled one of its flippers with its flywheel. St. Agro went for the pit release, only to have X-Terminator get underneath it and grind away at its underside. St. Agro was now immobile, and after it had been counted out, X-Terminator pushed it into Matilda's CPZ, where the house robot tore up St. Agro's armour and wheel. After being thrown by the floor flipper, St. Agro was finally put out of its misery by X-Terminator, who pushed it into the pit.
