1. Get to the top of the bump first and deny them that position,
This option may be very likely to get you flipped over on your back or sitting up on top of the robot you were trying to defend.

Even if all the contact remains bumper-to-bumper, the climbing robot will bu pushing up at a considerable angle on the robot sitting up on top of the bump.
