Rammers (or rams) do bear the name of the tactic used: ramming. The bot rams repeatedly his opponent, damaging him in the process. Fast and brutish.

You can also use it simply as a pusher. You then can drive the opponent against a wall (and you will do regular damage to him, especially useful against HS's) or in a hazard.

===Building a Rammer===
Rams must be fast. That means at least Ztek drive for lightweights, generally HP Ztek drive for middles, and 4WD HP Z-tek drive or more for heavyweights. You also need an invertible bot. With the minimum height needed for fitting a Z-tek inside your chassis, you can use shiny wheels and get an invertible bot.
