Chris may be an idiot, but there is one thing he is NOT, and that is an idiot. He's not coming after me with the plow. If he does, I'm getting under him and taking him to the hazards for some carnage.

Now onto the more likely scenario: coming after me with the front. My armor is higher than either his armor or his weapon. And my torque is five times his. He's not punching me with the spike unless he's under me AND got me pinned somewhere. Otherwise, he's pretty much either going to push off against me, or maybe even break his own weapon on my armor. So he'll probably try to make this a wedge match: trying to get under me and take me to the hazards. It's about all he can do.

So knowing that, my plan is to keep the fight in the middle of the arena. We're even in speed and traction, but with six wheels in a longer-than-wide frame, he won't be able to turn too tightly. Certainly not as well against a wider-than-long (in terms of non-wedge main body) 4WD. So I'm gonna try and circle him. I don't need to get to his sides, though if I do, I won't squander the chance; I simply need to get lined up so that I'm not hitting the hinged flaps and shark teeth straight on. Just try to get askance of that, and I should be able to wedge under him, hopefully get a couple wheels off the ground, and push him where I want, like the hazards.

Head to head, if he gets under me, I can probably drive off, hook away, then get under his side/chassis. Try to get free by any means and go after him again.

Stay aggressive and try to make better turns than him to try and turn this fight my way.

Good luck Chris.

Surprisingly, we have the same speed and traction, which means there will probably be very little fundamental driving differences between us here. I'm hoping my ram, of course, proves to the deciding factor as having that active weapon always comes in handy. Some may criticize Solar Smash's 1 torque, and yes, Yellow Cloud has 5 torque, so he can definitely push me. However, I argue that it's mostly irrelevant since I have a powerful battering ram. By design, the pneumatic force of the ram dishes out a ton of torque and will almost inevitably knock Yellow Cloud back each time I fire it. So my idea is to fire it, knocking him back while simultaneously dealing damage little by little. Then wait to reload, and come at him again!

I'll start off the match by aiming my front hinged wedges at him and coming wedge to wedge with Philip here. I'm relatively confident Solar Smash would be lower considering the differences of how our wedges are. While I have two sets of hinged wedges scraping the ground at all times, Philip has a 4-wheeled static wedge, that is balancing on his wheels and not on his wedge. Simply put, his wedge will have at least SOME amount of clearance.

If/when I get under Yellow Cloud, I plan to fire the ram as soon as he's on the wedge. My ram was designed to warp wedges so hopefulyl I can something similar here with Yellow Cloud's wedge. His armor is good, so it might not be that easy, but I have a feeling I'll be able to get enough good hits on him with the spike.

If I can push him around, I'll take him to the saws or hammers. I want to score some aggression points, so I'll charge him hard and fast every time I come at him. I might not have the torque, but hopefully my ram will carry me through.

Good luck!
