Updated the OP with minor changes in the extender and mechanics sections, thanks to trov for the feedback
Redgarding the batteries: I didn't really want to change the number of batteries required for a bot, only to make fights less uninteresting. Maybe changing the capacity to infinite would achieve this more easily.
I don't think the axle mount buff will lead to flail spam. Maybe flails will become more viable, but axle mounts will still be incredibly fragile, as their HP has not been changed
I don't really want to edit component meshes or APs as I think this is out of the scope of a balance patch
Disc HP will already be increased
I think the 140cm will be kept as-is, very fragile but light and long. Allows for more building diversity, and with the 120cm extenders being made viable I don't think it's an issue.
I don't want chassis armour to be particularly viable as it never had been particularly strong in stock.

I wanted to put the contents of this post outside of the main post.
I haven't put a HUGE amount of thought into these figures and they are completely untested. Given enough interest I may convert the theory into a working mod/patch for you to try and give feedback on, but for now I just need feedback on both the ethos and scale of my proposed changes, as well as feedback regarding whether or not you would play a more balanced version of stock over the standard version.
I'll leave the weapon and extra balancing for tomorrow as it is a whole lot of work, maybe in the interim some of you guys can give suggestions regarding that

ForewordI've been thinking about putting out a 'balance' patch for stock for a short while. The problem with stock (as I see it) is that while the building style allows for some really cool and flashy designs (see geice's showcase), it's a huge pain in the ass to build in, and there is only a small selection of viable components for every situation. Hopefully a balance patch could introduce more (if not all) components into the metagame, allowing for more varied bots and a more enjoyable building experience. Just for clarification's sake, this patch/mod would be played with the standard stock building style, NOT DSL-S. StatusCurrently I'm just theorycrafting and getting input on my thoughts. I'm not sure if this will even ever be released, as it may never gain traction in an already small community. Hopefully, however, it will prove to create a more enjoyable game out of stock, and best case scenario it will take over as the default version of stock used in tournaments/challenges AimsTo make as many components as possible viable in some way, in some situation To make stock more enjoyable to build in To widen the stock metagame to be more inclusive Long term, if it gets enough traction, it can be regularly updated with buffs/nerfs and even introducing new components, causing a shifting metagame that will prevent staleness and will keep builders engaged Proposed changes for version 1.0:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a2BI6u869pw3mePBZsCU1f_2bCO_ICSUUKRM_r5NT9Y/edit?usp=sharingSpecial thanks to Mr AS for his help and guidance so far.

That's pretty cool. When I pass my driving test and acquire some funds I might go about making an AW.

look at me guys I can make decent robots but choose to pump out sh** and call it a joke aren't I cute
No dude. It's not even hard, especially in DSL. Just sit down for 30 minutes or an hour and make something that isn't embarrassing. You already did it twice with the 2 robots you entered in my last tournament (even tho 1 was underweight for no reason at all), and stock is much harder and more time consuming than DSL.

Really cool episode Was it just me or did it feel like storm2 was much slower than in series 7? Felt like it was much more about control and not about slamming bots into walls harambe style. I think Eruption get **** over in their match vs storm too, looked to me like storm was immobile before the 10 second end of match counter. Even discounting that, I feel it was eruption's match. Storm had more control but did absolutely nothing with it at all.
Apollo was very impressive, as was PP3D who was the only bot that managed to damage Eruption or Storm, both of which seem to have thick frontal anti-spinner armour.

Good to see RedAce's entry going through. The hammer got screwed over so hard by Eddy's spikeball tho

Should be tomorrow but since I've not got an entry in a few days, sure. A 2nd bot can now be entered!

I don't even try anymore lol it has steel 10 and everything.
If you didn't even try why bother posting it to your showcase... obviously get rid of the steel10. Try to find as much weight as possible (probably by downgrading the weapon motor to a shorter perm80 for a start, and removing those useless wedges) to get a 2nd disc on a 2nd motor. Then add as much protection as you can. It will still get rekt by pretty much everything with a wedge tho, but that's a HS for you.

We'd just prefer if the mod was enjoyed as it was intended, with no replicas of a lesser quality thrown in. That's all, hardly petty. And I added the Razer bananas as a joke. You guys are throwing this a little out of proportion...
Going out of your way to stop users adding content to their own copies because you want them to enjoy it the way you want is pretty silly. It just comes off as overprotective of the mod at the cost of the user experience to me.

I'm happy to help with hosting or to host the whole thing if it would help, you know I'm fast with my AI and videos so it wouldn't be an issue.

Why would you care if people imported bots from older mods into this one? Seems unnecessary and petty to me.

Only 2 razors and plastic?
Maybe reduce to 3 or 2 ramplates, use 140cm extender for wedges to get more razorz? Odd how you prioritise rubbers over more weapons.
