Using the normal wedge with the flipper.

This isn't a plow that's going to win all wedge fights. This is more for killing spinners. With his plow being hinged on springs and mine being a heavy as fuck flipper, I should win most wedge exchanges in theory. If not, there's always the dustpan :v.

Keep him in front of me and watch if he angles in. Get underneath and flip. Once he's flipped, he'll be exposing his rear to me (the joy of having a mid to low powered flipper). Before he can reverse the controls and drive away, get him in the dustpan and clamp him. Go towards one of the flamethrowers and just park there with the front end of his body on the flames. Keep him there for as long as possible. It might even damage the springs. Use the flipper periodically to show aggression, but mainly use the clamp. If he's always escaping the clamp, use the flipper more often.

If he is able to turn around in time, get under with the clamp anyways and use the same strategy. I just have to make sure he doesn't hurl himself out with the weapon. If he's constantly getting under my flipper, then go clamp for most of the match.

Watch for him skidding from time to time. Try to take advantage of that as well. Don't drive into hazards. Self right if flipped

Good luck

We've got exactly equal driving power, taking into account my +1 traction bonus from having treads. So that's interesting. The other interesting part is that Diablo Genesis apparently has multiple configurations and I don't know if it's a flipper or a lifter. Or maybe Drew let me know and I forgot? Oh well.

Neither of us are really going to be able to push the other around, but if I wedge him my spring-powered ram should be able to knock him back a bit. I'll do that whenever I can, to show that I'm trying to do something even if this is a wedge v. plow snoozefest.

If he wedges me, there's nothing stopping me from just driving right over him monster truck style and hopefully coming back around and catching him. If he tries to clamp me, that's just better purchase for my ram to shove against. If he somehow clamps me from the side, my track on the other side will still be on the ground so I may be able to wiggle out. If I'm flipped over, I've still got the teeth on top of the plow to wedge with, so not much will have changed.

Overall, do my best to out-drive and be as aggressive as possible, taking any opportunity I can get.

Good luck Drew!
