You don't have to knock down all the targets...just more than your opponent. If your opponent's bot is busy chasing projected spots rather than real targets. Or perhaps even have an arm that disrupts your opponent's bot? There doens't seem to be any rule that I noticed that prevents you from interfering with your opponent (as long as you don't cross the firing line)...

As a snitch, I may be helpful in rounding up other humans to lead them to their slaughter. In return, I only require insertion back into the Matrix.
