### AWS 8

In the first round, Lower faced Odyssey and Mesmer 2 where it qualified alongside Odyssey.

    In the second round, Lower faced Combat Ant and Squashy. At first both Lower and Squashy got behind Combat Ant to take it out in a team up. However, the bludgeoner span up to speed and smashed both machines away, with Squashy being toppled over on its back. Squashy self righted, as Combat Ant waited for another attack before slamming into Squashy and buckling the armour completely. Despite the onslaught, Squashy kept self righting and attacking with Lower coming in from behind and attempting to crush Squashy. Squashy turned and attempted to axe Lower who clamped down and pushed, it let go and shunted Squashy off the arena.

In the third round, Lower faced Odyssey and Combat Ant again, this time Lower lost.

### AWS 9

    In the first round, Lower faced Blizzard and Vacant. Immediately, Lower charged in and caught Vacant, crushing it. However, Blizzard spun up to speed and approached Lower before battering one of the wheels, tearing it off. Lower still had Vacant in its grips but another attack from Blizzard sent both robots flying away, with another wheel from Lower being torn off. The impact managed to immobilise Blizzard which allowed Vacant to attack it whilst Refbot counted Lower out.

However, due to technical problems, the team's other antweight Resurrector who was meant to fight Abel and Achilles had to withdraw, meaning Lower was brought back in to replace it.

    As battle began Lower immediately charged into Achilles, grabbing hold of the barrel like shape. Abel eventually, came along and freed Achilles from the grasp of Lower, but not for long as Lower immediately attacked Achilles and, with Abel also helping, pushed Achilles off the arena.

In the second round, Lower faced Anti and Vole where it qualified alongside Vole.

In the third round, Lower faced Anty B. Lower charged into Anty B getting a grip, but Anty B slipped away and got around the back of Lower and attempted to lift it over. Lower turned and went head to head with Anty B grabbing it from the scoop. it is unknown what happened afterwards.

In the fourth round, Lower faced Rebel where it won.

    In the fifth round, Lower faced Anteater and Vole. Lower targeted Anteater at first with both crushers crushing one another. Vole then joined in on the assault of Anteater by pushing it close to the edge of the arena. Despite Anteater being pushed off the arena, it managed to hang onto Vole and as such Vole backed away as did Anteater who still hung onto Vole as it darted across the arena. Lower, meanwhile, seemed to have trouble moving from the earlier damage and was immobile as Anteater and Vole continued fighting.

    In the second round, Lower faced Headache. Both robots charged into each other, missing each other as they turned for another attack.

Lower then charged in and scooped Headache up and managed to topple Headache over on it side, where it was unable to self right.

In the third round, Lower faced Predator where it won.

    In the final, Lower faced War Ant. War Ant was the most aggressive at the start, slamming into Lower, toppling it and pushing it near the arena edge. However, Lower got away and came in for an attack but was wedge by War Ant again who came close to pushing Lower off. Lower survived again and managed to wrap around and get behind War Ant, crushing down and pushing War Ant off the arena.

    In the Grand Final, Lower faced Resurrector. The two robots slammed into the centre of the arena with Resurrector pushing Lower against the side wall.

### AWS 12

Lower competed in Group A and in the first round faced Cannon Fodder and Allikat. Lower received a hit from Allikat but turned its attention to Cannon Fodder, grabbing it and damaging an electronic as smoke emitted from Cannon Fodder, then takes it a trench and drops it in. Lower qualified along with Allikat.

In the second round, Lower faced Chroma and Anto. Lower started on Chroma, who briefly flips it. Chroma then gave it more flips, bringing it close to a trench, but it escapes right when Anto shoves Chroma down. Lower qualified alongside Anto.

In the third round, Lower faced Terminator again. As the two robots slammed into each other in the middle, Lower was able to grab onto Terminator, however, the plucky horizontal-grabber got the better traction and started pushing back against Lower, pushing backwards and eventually out of the arena.

Lower then joined the Mega Melee against Hades, Pants, R.O.N.N.Y., Chimera, Anty B, Big, Chroma and Dynamo. Lower started with Pants but switches to Anty B, flipping it onto its rear. Then attacks Hades and grabs it, then pushes Hades into a trench. With Hades out of the way, Lower returned to the still alive robots and tries to grab Pants, but fails.

### AWS 13

    In the first round, Lower faced Killsaw and Electra. Lower made an immediate charge towards Killsaw, hoping to stop the spinner, but Killsaw survived the ramming attack and turned as Electra came in from behind and tried to flip Lower. Lower continued to pursue Killsaw as Electra rammed into Lower, turning it and pushing it into the flywheel of Killsaw who tore one of Lower's wheels off, sending it in the air and over the robot. Electra lifted Lower and pushed it further into the flywheel of Killsaw however, Lower was unable to do anything and was completely immobile. Killsaw and Lower also got stuck and a timeout was declared to free them. It was successful, and Lower was deliberately placed on the edge of the trench due to having no desire to fight anymore. Neither opponents even went near Lower and Electra shoved Killsaw into the trench, but Lower was granted the elimination. This was also the last time Lower would fight in Antweight World Series.
