TACTICS:
S.T.A.T. vs. Spin Dash Unleashed
Ram it. Hard. If it is practical at any point, avoid the saw, but generally ram it, try to impale its wheels with the spike, and get it down some sort of pit type thing.
Back To Rock III vs. Eye of Ran
Keep the wedge to BTR if possible until the blade is spun up to about 3/4 of max speed, and then hit it. If it proves difficult, get the blade up to max and see what that does. Always try and keep one of the ends (blade or wedge) facing BTR, try not to let it get around the sides.
Supreme vs. Nidhogg Evo
Get underneath it somewhere, lift it so it doesnt have traction, crush into it or at least clamp it so it cant escape, and then attempt to pit it. Standard tactics really.
Good luck everyone, particularly Dan, Steve and Marti
Tactics time, I guess:
Sithis vs. Seung Mina V
Dont use the flipper at all...unless I need to self-right for whatever reason, I dont want my flipper rams attacked. Simply ram-foo Sithis ass into the pit double quick and preferably turn to ram into the direction hes spinning, like straight into the blade, so hell become unstable and fly up the wedge
. The angle of the wedge, nice LEM power and Hardox armour should help immensely here.
Crimson Thunder vs. Curse of Dread
Another Danny B battle I see.
Good luck Danny in both battles.
At least Ive got one robot through. Heres the plan for Knyfe.
Battle Raptor 4 vs. Knyfe
Hooray! I havent fought Richard in a while, and given hes updatewd his robot, and Ive got a new robot here, itll be good. First of all, Im a bit worried about the axe, not because of my armour, as i dont think itll do too much to my 6mm Hardox - Im worried he may break a chain and prevent me from moving. So, I need to get the robot off the ground so he cant hit me. But he has those forks to flip me over and render my normal wedge useless. So here comes...
8: A 42* hindged wedge at the front made of 7mm Hardox with a large 8mm Hardox hindge. The wedge is invertible, as it flops over if flipped, and isnt effected if flippeed. I use this against flippers.
If he gets underneath first time round, no worry, just push (I can outpush him, as his motors will genderate 16hp overall - mine give 50hp) If I get under, just slam into the nearest wall as hard as possible, and hope I break something. Just keep pushing him into the hazards, walls, and hope I win
Good luck Richard :wink: and everybody else.

...might be being slightly nosey here, its not really my place to comment on tactics, but - if he gets underneath you, there will either be less weight on the wheels you have remaining on the floor (making them more likely to just spin and make a nice noise...eeeeeeeee), or, more likely, all your wheels will be off the floor making oushing about as effective as one of Baldricks plans.
Just saying, your overconfidence is blinding you to reality a bit again. :wink:
