The Steel Avenger (sometimes written as Steel Avenger) was a plough-shaped robot with a large pneumatic axe as its weapon. It was two interchangable axe heads in Series 3, a pick and a broad axe, but this idea was binned in favour of the sharp steel axe that was featured from Series 4 onwards.

The team competed in Series 3, 4, 5 and 7. In addition to its weaponry, The Steel Avenger often sported a rainbow-coloured feather duster, to "keep the arena clean". In Series 5, the team added a rear flipper to The Steel Avenger, and two mini axes on each side for a self-righting mechanism. The design of the robot was so that when at its maximum speed, a charge and impact from the bladed, arrow-shaped end would cause severe damage.
