Anti-Virus
Speed: 8 | Traction: 8 | Torque: 4 | Armour: 10 (+2 plow) | Weapon: LOL

Electric Agression
Speed: 6 | Traction: 6 | Torque: 2 | Armour: 11 (+1 rear wedge) | Weapon: 5 (3/3/3)

Major flaw with poor Electric Agression here. No mention of the rear wedge being hinged. The pictures don't give it away either; I don't see any hinges or an axle or w/e. So if he presses any of the jaws down, he beaches himself on that and the rear wedge, and is totally unable to move. Honestly, if he's flipped, this actually mitigates his problem somewhat so I'd rather he stay right-side-up than upside-down. (UNLESS HE STARTS UPSIDE-DOWN, in which case get him to a floor flipper immediately. :P :P :P I mean, he can run perfectly fine upside-down if the jaws are closed)

So what I want to do is similar to what I've done in the past against lifters. I want to angle in on him. However, first I want to come at him and bait him into pressing so he beaches himself, then I can easily get him from the side and slam him into a flame-jet corner. When I'm a bit less than half the arena length away from him, I'm gonna swerve off diagonally and see what happens. If he stops moving, he's fallen for it. If he hasn't and is turning to try and face me, I can still potentially angle in on him but from there I'll just crash into him before he can press. I feel my forks are better than his own anyway so we'll see. To the flame-jets, in any case!

So let's say he gets under me. Big, fat, hairy deal. The drum can't do anything even to my body armour and have fun trying to control a bot with 2 points more in all drivetrain categories. :V He clamps me, he's only getting the forks, he can't reach further than that. He lifts me up, my rear wheels will still be on the ground. My torque gets cut in half? 8 speed, 2 torque to his 6 speed, 2 torque. I'm still out-pushing his ass. Makes no difference if I get flipped, forks still work the same.

Honestly, if I'm really having issues getting around him, just fucking crash into him. Knock him backwards or get under him, whichever happens. Be the most aggressive bot, because that's what gonna matter here.

Also own the center of the arena like it's my own room. (Because it kinda is. Writer pls don hurt ;___;)

Anti-Virus is twice quicker than me but it doesn't mean I can't catch him up, I'll leave my jaws open in order for my control spinner to come into play, I want to try and stay close to the opponent as possible by doing some angling and hope to strike AV's tyres. I can also use my hinged wedge if I want too and act as a ramp on AV and make him topple over. Just keep on chasing him near the arena wall and If I do I'll use the jaws to clamp AV nearby one of the wheels and try to take control, take him to a spike hazard.

Just keep on moving about in the arena and play chase.

Good luck and may the best robot win.
