Gut-ripping is the technique in which a robot gets up underneath another robot, (usually by means of a [[wedge]]) and damages their underside, which is commonly unprotected. One of the best tactic for all vertical spinning weapons. [[Popup]]s are meant to use this tactic.

Gut-ripping is the technique in which a robot gets up underneath another robot, (most of the time by means of a [[wedge]]) and damages their underside, which is commonly unprotected. Most of the time, it's an efficient technique, although it can't handle all scenarios like fighting specialized bots like [[Mome Rath]].

In DSL, it is possible to resist Gut-ripping by mounting Half sheets of titanium directly to the underside of you baseplate, although most of the time you won't avoid all damage.  

 

[[Popup]]s and especially [[Juggler]]s are dedicated gut-rippers. [[Sawbot]]s, [[Drum]]s and Disc [[VS]], are good at gut-ripping, but not specialized in it .  Bar or tribar [[VS]], as well as [[Wammers]] do it to a lesser extent.

 

It is possible to resist Gut-ripping by mounting Half sheets of titanium directly to the underside of you baseplate( in DSL) or by using belly [[Caster armor]] (in Stock).  

When playing online, it is best to stop Gut-ripping and back off after a while to see if you opponent can still move, or else it will begin to resemble pinning.
