Leveller 2

"...to get someone out of the arena. Isn't that every flipper's goal? To get someone out of the arena?"

- Leveller 2's team

Leveller 2 was a basic yellow wedge shaped robot with a steel tube frame armoured in alloy and polycarbonate that competed in Series 7 of Robot Wars. Its weapon was a narrow red flipper on the wedge, the robot was fast, maneuverable and strong. Leveller 2 managed to get to the second round of its heat, but the team's inexperience showed here as it was beaten there by the reigning champion Tornado after it drove down the pit.

Series 7
Thunderpants broke down before entering the arena, leaving the other three machines to compete for two places in Round 2. In Leveller 2's first battle, it was flipped over by Barber-Ous 2'n A Bit after it came into to contact with its spinning weapon. Leveller 2 self-righted easily though. It was then flipped again and self-righted again. Barber-Ous 2'n A Bit then broke down and was lifted up by Mr. Psycho. Meanwhile Tetanus Booster rammed into Leveller 2 with its spinning drum weapon which broke Leveller 2's rear armour, but Leveller 2 had already qualified. In the next round Leveller 2 had an unlucky draw against reigning champion Tornado. However Leveller 2 managed to flip Tornado, rendering Tornado's shovel weapon useless, but Tornado then pushed Leveller 2 around the arena and into the arena walls with a lot of force. Leveller 2 still came back at Tornado and flipped it again, but Tornado still used its superior pushing power on Leveller 2. As the yellow wedge fled, it drove down the open pit, eliminating itself from the competition.

Prior to its appearance on Robot Wars, Leveller 2 had been competing on the live circuit, with varying degrees of success. It continued to be upgraded before filming of the Seventh Wars.

Since Robot Wars, Leveller 2 has been rebuilt several times, and has competed in several live events, particularly Roaming Robots events. Recently in 2013, Leveller 2, now named Leveller 2 Mk 4.5 Evo and owned by Team BallistiX, has been rebuilt to compete competitively again.
