Okay, to keep it simple, we need to bust their wedge and crush through the bot as much as possible. They have a better drivetrain, but hopefully our wide wings will make that tougher to pull off. From the start, make a fairly quick approach, though slow when we get close enough so we've time to angle in. Getting our main wedge under theirs is obviously the better target, though if we catch them with the side wedges, that's good too. If they get under the side wedges, they should ride up the wedge, giving nothing to push, and letting us turn to counterattack. And if our side wedges get under, their angle should allow us to push and corral them back into the crush zone. Keep a sort of mid-ranged strategy, applying pressure with driving but not going full aggro. We need to keep pressure up and consistently get under them where it counts. If we can crumple the plow and bugger the wedge, that'd be good, if not, just busting the flipper mechanism via popping an axle would also be helpful. Stick them in the wall if need be to confirm crushes.
tl;dr: Wedge harder, play the middle ground between offensive and defensive driving, crush hard, spark cannons or something.
Best of luck to the opposition.
