Today, I encountered my first Dash-bot - Bulgasari L8/8.
It was equipped with 3×Orkans and was skirting the center plateau at Valley. As soon as I could, I unloaded from 400m with Zeus cannon/2×Pin. I caught the shielded-side so the Zeus cannon did little to stop it but the Pins did remarkable damage.
I was on top of a parallel plateau when it "dashed" in and unloaded its payload but the elevation was too high. It "dashed" out I fired the Zeus and no matter which direction it went, the Zeus tracked it. I destroyed the Bulgasari at +500m by slaloming.
They are extremely fragile, only slightly more durable than the WW mecha and the Heachi (Spelling?) and Bulgasari are physically slower than the Doc, even at L12. I don't see them as a problem .. Yet.
RECOMMENDATION: Rockets fired in bursts and/or tracking weapons, such as the Zeus cannon or Scourge.
The terrain played a role in this encounter. I will update as I vet more tactics.
