SSCB: Speed: 9 / Traction: 8 / Torque: 3 / Weapon: 3 (2 for each) / Armor: 1
Chimera: Speed: 8 / Traction: 6 / Torque: 2 / Weapon: 5 / Armor: 9 (+1 top) - DOING THIS https://i.imgur.com/DbkxT0E.jpg

He has marginally better drivetrain than I do but he also literally kills himself if he tries to ram me so I think that gives me the net advantage here. The key to winning here is to just focus on one at a time. I literally don't care if one of them is behind me, I just need to pick one, focus on it, get the flip in, and watch as the duct tape holding it together falls off from the impact of the flip. actually getting into position to do this will still be hard, but I have the advantage of time.
Over the course of the match, he's going to have to ram under me (assumingly near full speed so he can actually be behind me with one half of the cluster), ram me into things, have me on top of him (where I can fire the flipper to make myself jump up a bit, try to loosen his grip, and just generally threaten damage on his ONE ARMOR), etc.. Every single little thing he does threatens his bots with some sort of major damage, and the components he's using don't help either - mecanum is delicate, and losing but one wheel tends to really fuck with how they work, his clamp arms are spindly as hell, such that even small impacts threaten them bending upwards, rendering the entire wedge useless. I'm going to lose for the first like, minute and a half, but it's not like he can do enough to win during that time - since even feeding me to the IED isn't a viable option with the spinning rings around it that threaten damage on his wheels (and will also help kick me free given the weight differential).
I don't really have much of a strategy here beyond what I previously mentioned because there really isn't that much strategy for me to do here: I can't do that much against 2 9 speed bots other than try my best to focus on one and flip it whenever I can, but they're so shoddily put together that they'll literally just fall apart for me.
once he's down to one set of the cluster, I pretty much do standard wedge vs hammer things (with me acting as the hammer). I'm playing at a speed disadvantage, but it's not major enough to be worried, and I can afford patience since I should only need a flip or two to disable that half, and I'll already be up a half of the cluster on damage over him.
