To put it simply, ANGLE IN. Get out from the corner into the middle area of the arena, curve in and angle in on the approach. The idea is to slip under CdG's wedge via getting under it at an angle, which both lets us crush the squishy innards behind the plow for a monstrous 8 damage, perhaps busting the hammer in the process (or through the wedge for 4 if the angles work out like that), whilst simultaneously using our 10 armour crushing arm as a hammer blocker. Considering the length of its arm, if we can close in and get under CdG, it's got no way to strike us. The first crush is likely to mess something up, but just in case, run them into the hazards for bonus damage and control points. Priorities include opening up the log chute (perhaps dump them down there if they just won't die) or tossing them onto the rollers if pin time runs out. Considering the position of the tail and wheels, a head-on beaching shouldn't be too uncommon, giving us full control. Once we have to let go, back up and repeat the angling in process, providing they aren't beached on the rollers entirely. Try to get in so close that they can't reasonably strike us, using the taller parts of the chassis as hammer blockers. If they out-wedge us somehow, J-hook off whilst we still have control and try again. A strike from the side is preferred to one from the front, though don't try for it especially hard. Just focus on angling in, wedge-breaking, and crushing for a bazillion damage.
Best of luck to the opposition.
