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

Steg 2 was Team Steg-O-Saw-Us's second entry which competed in Series 4. It was a large box-wedge shaped robot armoured with clear, aluminium "monocoque", similar to Reptirron The Second. The lifting tail of Steg-O-Saw-Us was replaced with a much improved flipper, which was used to quickly dispatch several of its opponents on the way to winning its heat.

[edit] Series 4

The first round was a rather close match, with Steg 2 throwing Cronos around and Crusader 2 bravely ramming Steg 2. Cronos was thrown again and again, until the time expired. Crusader 2 proceeded through with Steg 2 as it had been very aggresive and controlled. Steg 2 then fought newcomers Iron Awe. Steg 2 flipped Iron Awe, but Iron Awe self-righted, becoming the first robot to self-right using an axe. Steg 2 flipped Iron Awe numerous times, but Iron Awe kept on self-righting. However towards the end all the flips and self-righting seemed to have broken something inside Iron Awe as it began to slow. Steg 2 took a break from attacking Iron Awe and flipped over Matilda, much to the delight of the crowd. The match went to the judges who put Steg 2 through. In the heat final, Steg 2 fought Mortis. Mortis' lifting arm had stuck open meaning it couldn't self-right. Steg 2 easily flipped Mortis a few times before pushing it down the pit. Steg was through to the Semi-Finals.

However, the team faced an unlucky draw in the Semi-Finals, coming up against the reigning champions Chaos 2. The match had a lot of flipping in with Chaos 2 flipping Steg 2 around the arena, but Steg 2 self-righted. It managed to flip Chaos 2 over, but Chaos 2 easily self-righted. Chaos 2 then flipped Steg 2 onto its side. Steg 2 tried to self-right, but it had run out of CO2. With its flipped stuck open, Steg 2 was put onto the floor flipped and was sent flying through the air and landed on its back. Still unable to self-right, Steg 2 was eliminated.
