You're just a voice pal, you don't know a damn thing about racing!
PS:
Speed: 7
Weapon: 4
Armor: 7
Traction: 6
Torque: 4

Barracuda:
Speed: 5
Traction: 4
Torque: 2
Weapon: 11
Armor: 6 (+2 plow)

I have a lot more speed, and his 2WD means while that he'll have an easier time turning, the way those wheels are mounted means he will likely oversteer sometimes. His hammer will be able to dent my chassis some with 9 power, but he'll barely be able to scratch my flipper arm, which takes up a large amount of my chassis. I also have superior torque and should be able to outwedge him with my wedge forks.

I'm again going to wait and see what he does before coming out of my square. I don't want to rush into an obvious trap by box-rushing him in case he wants to drive over me. If no such trap is obvious then come out and try to lever my wedge under the gap in his plow. Final Boss lost last week because Barracuda was able to get under him and pin him against the wall. First evidence I see of him getting under me, I want to reverse out of there quickly (my skirts hide a higher ground clearance than Final Boss, as evidenced by the larger wheels in the top view), then while the plow is still raised zoom back underneath, get him to the wall, and flip. Keep following up with more flips and stay in control from there. Fulcrum beat Barracuda in week 2 because he was able to control Barracuda with flips, so if I keep flipping him and keep him from pinning me I should be OK. I don't want to be too aggressive, as Nick will take advantage of my lack of control.

Just keep flipping him, don't let him get under me and stay away from the walls. His hammer won't do much of anything to about 25% of my chassis as well, so he'll have to be very well-positioned to really damage my chassis.

Good luck Nick and may the better bot win.

I've never lived by anyone's rules but my own.
Alright, similar plan to Final Boss here. Phantasmic Slammer is a fairly similar design—a flipper with wedge skirts on all sides. Different kind of flipper, different kinds of skirts, but in the end it still has a big flat top to hammer away on, if I can get under.

-Yet again I can put weight on my front wedge, since it’s a lifter.
-If my wedge gets under, the rear wheels on FB still won't touch the ground. So the plan will be to bench him on my plow, push him to the wall and hold him there, and just wail on him while I'm holding him there, for the full 30 seconds.

I also want to try to get under, push him to the killsaws, and then hit him as he's getting hit by the killsaws. The combined effect of the axe and the saws may do some damage he can't shrug off.

Basically I want to own the damage category in this fight, and own aggression as well due to taking control for long periods of time when I get under.

I'm not too concerned about damage from his flipper. It's only 4 power—why even call it a flipper at that point? I’m not going to question such things. Just like Final Boss it's not going to be flipping bots like Toro with that kind of statting. My lifter is much more powerful, and it did nothing to damage Fulcrum--a robot that had only 5 internal armor.

Good Luck
