Currently known strats/glitches:

• Double slime on ramps (shown on mutagen wasteland)

• Press the trick button twice to get this, spamming also works.

• Allows you to get an extra boost in on mutagen wasteland at the start making it required for that TT at WR level.

• This is easier on the high ramps but it also works on the cycle based ramps in levels like Kilted Yaksmen raceway although it may not be that useful TT wise there.

• Ramp edge boosts (shown on 'Lympics park)

• Probably doable on other tracks, also seems like Rocko can do them better than Shredder.

• Bumper boosts (Dreamland only)

• Angle of your left stick matters when hitting the bumper and even when in the air a little in order to drift tighter round turns and get better boosts.

• Ace Savvy seem like the best wheels for doing this with shredder

• Super bumper boosts (Dreamland only)

• Getting the big boosts like this is super rare, it's also possible to skip the first turn on dreamland by going neutral as you hit the first bumper, but the game thinks you're going backwards once you land and respawns you.

• Cycle manipulation

• by skipping the track start screen later you can change the cycles in the track

• Would be useful on tracks like Reptar Ruins/Dreamland where getting good geiser cycles every lap saves a lot of time.

Robot Wars: AOD World Champion speedrun notes

2000 credits start

My First Bot prep: -Sell Eyes (180) -Sell power (100) -Sell drive (120?) -Sell axe (350) -Sell wood (100) ¤getting better armour for safety not neccessary though

-Buy Large built-in flipper (1600) or from scrapyard (1360) -Buy differential - low ratio drive from scrapyard (164) -Buy 2 stroke motorbike engine from scrapyard (193)

-Buy armour from scrapyard (anything lower than 300 credits or so)

¤Items from scrapyard price varies, I've just put prices I have gotten.

Credits left just over 1k potentially if you kept wood armour otherwise 600-900 roughly

The Route if 500 credits left (needs testing): -Win Robot Wars Championship twice to unlock north sea (assault is not worth doing I don't think) (4500) -Win Alpha Viking Open Trophy 3 times to unlock Sao paulo (12000) -Win Scrapyard Challenge cup twice (25000) -Win World Championship

Tournament Unlocks: north sea- 3000 (3000 prize) ¤500 entry japan- 4000 (3000 prize) ¤500 entry Germany- 8000 (5000 prize) ¤1000 entry 4 rounds Sao paulo- 10000 (8000 prize) ¤1500 entry 3 rounds New york- 15000 (16000 prize) ¤2500 entry 2 rounds OR (20000 prize ¤3000 entry 3 rounds)

I'm gonna be testing and doing runs of this category tommorow, so I will make a full guide soon :)
