I feel like a fucking celebrity around here.

I have a speed and torque advantage, which is almost all I need against him. My armor is also 1 point above his weapon power, so who knows how much damage it will do.

I'm going to be relying on my dustpan and clamp more than the flipper in this match. Due to the oddly shaped nature of his wedges/armor, my dustpan should be able to slide right under him. Add in that I am faster than him and can get under from any angle. I'm definitely allowed to play offensively in this match.

I'll go right at him at the beginning of the match. I'll watch to see if he tries to get to my side, but I can outmaneuver him. Once I get him in my dustpan, I'll clamp down and carry him over to the pulverisors and hammer on him while he's pinned. His armor's good enough that the hazards won't kill him, but I'll let them damage him just to get points.

If he uses his hammer to pry my arm open, I still have the speed advantage, so he can't run away. I should be able to keep him in the dustpan since he won't be able to run away.

For this one I'll be relying heavily on Adrenaline's defensive abilities. I don't think his dustpan will help him much, because the bottom panel is recessed into the chassis. Even if the front points of his chassis scrape the ground, it will actually hold the bottom pannel slightly off the ground. My pointed wedges work by being slightly lower than my wheels, and allowed to move up to wheel level by rubber shock-mounts. Because of all that I'm fairly certain he won't be able to get under me. If he runs up my side it should put his wheels off the ground. With that I'll shove him to the wall, pin him, and then hit him with my axe as many times as I can. If he gets under, I'll try to escape, but the whole time I'll be hitting him with the axe, primarily focusing on the area where his arm is mounted.

Good luck and may the best bot win.
