Using Dextrus
Dextrus only has two wheel drive so has very little pushing power. The most effective tactic with Dextrus is to hit robots with the mallet and then retreat, before then moving in again to use the mallet again, and then retreating again.

Against Dextrus
Due to it only weighing 66kg (comparitively light in-game) and having quite a high ground clearance, Dextrus is very vulnerable against flippers, so can be flipped about, and flipped out of the arena, without much difficulty. However, Dextrus can't be flipped unless its mallet falls off, which is quite a rare occurence. Dextrus only has two wheel drive, and has a circular chassis, this makes it very easy to push around, into arena hazards etc.
