Barrier vs. Sanitation Engineer

Alright time to fight ACAMS latest RA2 inspired bot.

Sanitation Engineer's spring loaded wedges might make him low to the ground, but it's not 100% against all wedges obviously. Barrier has the combination lifter and hinged wedges in the front going for me, so I hope I'm lower than him right off the bat. However, I will play it smart in this one.

I will veer towards either his left or right side. When we get close, I will see if I get under him. If I do, great. Throw him to the walls and hazards and do my dirty work. If he gets under me, I will be able to turn one of my front arms (hinged wedges) into him and hopefully get under him then since Barrier is a wider bot then SE. Either way, I hope something work.

The other advantage I have in this match is the lifter. When I get under him, I'll be able to throw him around, flip him, clamp him, you name it. Barrier can form all sorts of attack with a simple wedge/lifter combo. All SE can do is push me to the wall and ram me (his 1 weapon is hardly enough to make a difference).

The basic strategy is to go wedge to wedge and plan accordingly to see who gets under who. If he continues to get under me somehow, be creative and dance around his wedge a bit. Use the lifter to lift, clamp, flip and pin to the walls. Use the hazards cautiously. Good luck.
