Spin up, press the wedge, smack em around.
Reverse when outwedged, and if they clamp us using their hammer, try shaking free using the pivot.
Play aggressive, don't be dumb.



I don't expect this to go well. He'll probably win by KO.

GHOST-RPING FOR SYLANDROPHOL

Oh look, a match between two robots using damaging weapons for "control" so they can't actually do anything to each o-

Wait. "Armor: 10 (+3 Wedge)". That means his chassis armor is 4, which means accounting for the bonus for hammers, I can actually potentially KO him with repeated hits, and will be doing serious damage even if I don't.

All right, then. If he's got his disc on the ground normally, he probably outwedges me, but my hammer has enough reach and stroke that I should be able to hit his body even if I'm wedged as long as his disc doesn't pop me in the air first. Be aggressive, and come in and smack whatever non-wedge component is the most convenient target. If he tries pressing his wedge (which isn't really necessary) he'll mess up his own driving. Take the opportunity to try to angle around his wedge and hit his body.

If he tries to raise his weapon pod in the air and use it to block my hammer, he renders his wedge useless in the process. Get under him and push him into an arena hazard, preferably the floor spikes. If he's in the right position I may also be able to use my hammer as either a clamp or a front-hinged flipper.


MOD EDIT: Didn't see Gulden's original thread ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
