How about if we reverse engineer the "ramming" rules? In those, you divide
the current speed rate by 10, which gives the "Ramming Power" of the attack.
In this case, the drone simply has the bugs strength (the 10 if I am following
right). The "damage level" varies on the effective speed. A speed of
"100"
(10 strength x 10 ramming modifier), which comes up with a Serious Wound
category (did I get that right??? no books are handy).

Hows' that for a thought?
