Man, here I was thinking the wedges would be lower this time around. Haha no. Now I get to be 1 point lower in wedgeland forever. And on Lumina Cloth no less! Guh… But fortunately there are some resources here. Merry Hampton is your garden variety box with a wedge up front, four wheels, and enough armor to survive a nuclear holocaust. The key issue is that it’s useless upside down. This weak invertibility might give me a chance at flipping it and then pitting it. The other issue is that as a weaponless bot, all it can do is push. I have an active weapon that can potentially fling my opponent right out of the arena if I land a good hit. We’re the same speed, and you can bet I’ll never engage in a pushing match voluntarily. I’ll try to wiggle away whenever I can.

So first thing’s first. This is the cloth. Defense takes priority. Let’s not get pushed out by this mean green machine!
-Use the flipping arm attachment again, like the last match.
-Spin if he approaches, much like the Braveheart match.
-If I get a good hit from this that gives me a shot at his backside, follow-up with the forks and try to get under the sides or back.
-If the forks fail to get under, back up and rinse/repeat from the first step.
-If the forks do get under, fire the bar and try to fling him upside-down!
-If I can get this bot over, he’s essentially defenseless against getting pushed out, so just go for a frontal assault and push, firing the bar just as he’s on the edge.
-DON’T FIRE THE BAR AT THE FRONT. Don’t fire it until my forks are under. The last thing I need is to have it ride over and be stuck helplessly on top of him and get pushed off. Fire it at the sides or back, where I have something vertical to hit. Or fire it at the front WHEN MY FORKS ARE ALREADY UNDER. Otherwise I’m not going to be trigger happy in this match. If there are zero opportunities to fire the bar then I won’t fire it! But chances are high there will be some opportunities.

Good Luck
