Steg-O-Saw-Us (occasionally spelled Steg-A-Saw-Us) was a box-wedge shape robot from Series 3 with a series of spikes on top and a lifting tail at the back, built to resemble a stegosaurus dinosaur. However, the team relied mainly on Steg-O-Saw-Us's great pushing and ramming ability to immobilize opponents and win matches. Contrary to popular belief, Steg-O-Saw-Us did not run on tracks. The team had originally planned to use them, but decided to swap them out for regular wheels before appearing on the show. Steg-O-Saw-Us managed to defeat Semi-Final favourites Beast of Bodmin to secure a place in the Series 3 Grand Final, eventually losing to Hypno-Disc. The team also entered two other robots in the next two wars, Steg 2 and 3 Stegs to Heaven respectively, neither of which were as successful as the original.

[edit] Series 3

Steg-O-Saw-Us surprised many with its huge pushing power, bulldozing Orac's Revenge into the side walls and finally into the pit whilst shrugging off blows from the other machine's weapon. Steg-O-Saw-Us charged at Henry, missed, and went into the flames at the beginning of Round 2. Henry went into CPZ's by accident, where its spike got embedded in the arena wall and it was left exposed to attacks from Steg-O-Saw-Us and the house robots. In the heat final, Steg-O-Saw-Us fought former semi-finalists Napalm, and Steg-O-Saw-Us had the much better start. It rammed Napalm and pushed it into Shunt. Steg-O-Saw-Us rammed it again, but was pinned against the arena wall by Napalm. The house robots started to attack, but Steg-O-Saw-Us escaped. Steg-O-Saw-Us then smashed Napalm into the arena wall repetitively, and Napalm's armour began to buckle and give way.

The battle against Gravedigger was quite close, with Gravedigger flipping Steg-O-Saw-Us up onto the arena wall, but Matilda knocked it back onto its wheels. Steg-O-Saw-Us then backed into Gravedigger and pushed it around the arena before cease was called and the judges went for Steg-O-Saw-Us. Steg-O-Saw-Us also fought Beast of Bodmin, and it really shone in this battle, ramming the previous champions into submission and progressing to the Grand Final.

Here, it fought Hypno-Disc, and was described as the underdogs. It charged frontal attacks on Hypno-Disc, with its front armour not being damaged by the spinning disc and managing to shunt Hypno-Disc around the arena. However, Hypno-Disc landed a gouge down the side of Steg-O-Saw-Us in return. Hypno-Disc slammed the valiant green machine several more times, and Steg-O-Saw-Us finally succumbed to the damage. The damage was so serious that Steg-O-Saw-Us was deemed irreparrable for the playoff, meaning that it placed fourth in the Third Wars.
