3 Stegs to Heaven

3 Stegs to Heaven was an invertible robot with a spinning blade, later replaced by a circular saw, which competed in Series 5. It was entered by Team Steg-O-Saw-Us, but it was a completely different design from its predecessors. However, it did have the same stegosaurus spikes seen on the top of Steg-O-Saw-Us. The idea was to build the robot small in order to create as great a speed and as nimble a turning circle as possible. It debuted in the Extreme 1 All Stars, but was defeated by Tornado. The robot got it's name from a competition in Robot Wars Magazine, where the winning name was used on the robot.

Extreme Series 1
The new machine from Team Steg-O-Saw-Us was untested, and this proved to be its undoing. In the All Stars Championship first round, it lost drive to its right hand drive almost straight away, and was pulverised by the repeated slams of Tornado. As Sir Killalot hoisted the machine over the flame pit, it was clear from the body language of the Steg-O-Saw-Us team that their machine was heading for defeat. Dead Metal dragged 3 Stegs to Heaven to the floor flipper which tossed it onto its underbelly. Since 3 Stegs to Heaven didn't have a castor wheel fitted at this stage, its blade now hit the arena floor as it spun. In all this time, Refbot didn't count 3 Stegs to Heaven out, but obviously 3 Stegs to Heaven wouldn't be returning for the All Stars Quarter Finals.

Series 5
3 Stegs to Heaven, seeded number 8, attacked Eleven in the first round, cutting the hydraulic pipe and causing the fluid to leak. However, 3 Stegs got caught on a cable, causing it to become stuck to Eleven. With neither robot able to move well, Refbot counted both machines out and gave the decision to the judges, who chose 3 Stegs. It moved on to fight Tetanus, where 3 Stegs had another scare as Tetanus easily pushed the seeded machine into the side grinders while 3 Stegs was unable to damage Tetanus. However, 3 Stegs sliced off one of Tetanus' prongs, but Tetanus lifted 3 Stegs off the ground in retaliation. However, 3 Stegs pulled away, and Tetanus had been immobilised. Tetanus was counted out and pitted by Bash. This put the 8th seed through to fight Bigger Brother, who flung 3 Stegs around the arena. However, Bigger Brother failed to get 3 Stegs out of the arena, before flipping Shunt instead. Finally, Bigger Brother pushed 3 Stegs down the pit, going in itself and causing Killalot to fall in on top. This was the only time Team Steg-O-Saw-Us failed to reach the semi-finals.
