In the past, power flippers have generally sucked against power spinners. The sensitive weapon systems of the flippers take enough brutal damage from the flips themselves let alone the damage that a disc can do to it. With that being said, I hope this will be my advantage in this match.

I will come out and spin up. I will wait to get up to full speed before moving towards him. However, he'll probably box rush me so I'll move out a little to the left to start out. When he gets close to me, aim my disc in a way to strike his flipper. If/when I do, I hope to severely damage it. Minion was able to take out Toro's flipper in one shot and even though that probably won't be the case here, the chances of Jack Frost doing heavy damage and/or taking out the weapon is a high probability. After I strike him, recover from the collision and spin up again. Do the same thing again and again.

If he tries something radically different (like hitting me with his back end), not much will change. Just hit him in the most vulnerable area. That might not be the best thing either, however, since his armor is only 6 and it's up against my 10 weapon. Good luck.

For this one I'm going to maneuver very carefully, and try to use my speed to avoid his weapon. My goal is to get to his side or back and flip him. If his weapon does hit me, the front armor panels should help keep the flipper from getting damaged. If I can manage to flip him, I'll back off rather than stay on the attack. Being too aggressive will only get me hit more, so I'll use my speed to force the fight to my pace. Keep him chasing me until he makes a mistake, then flip him. With a little strategy and a lot of luck I may be able to use the hazards or his own weapon to do heavy damage. Either way I hope to stay in control of the fight on the judges score cards.

Good luck and may the best bot win.
