he spelled friend wrong ...vankos...
3 typo mistakes in a single word! Any further mockings with my name will costs you a minus rep. point per mistake! As for the brackets, I'm not going to make any predictions, since the 2 vs 2 matches are hard to predict, and everything can happen.

Here is what I think, about the bulding styles :  Stock : It may don't have the variety or the balance of the DSL, but it's still cool. But some noobs/newbies can find it too hard, cos of the stacking, snapper loading and stuff. Stock noob level on purpose (but not stock IRL, it sux) : I'm OK with it, even some times I make a noob tournaments vs a noob AI or vs friends (they are noobs). DSL normal/standard : I'm not playing it, but I do respect it. If I ever build DSL, it will be the standard DSL. I remember the days, when all the members were building the both - DSL standard and stock, and it was cool. It just turns out, that even with the tries to balance it, in the end, some components are just better, like in stock, and I understand this, but I love stock with his unbalanced components, so the liking of DSL-S is not a problem.  DSL IRL : The so called DSL-easy mode. The fact > , that my bots must be judged by a GTM members are they IRL or not, or a judges have to decide did I won or not, > alienates me from the IRL DSL. This is a game, the RA2 engine don't have the phisics of the real world, so if someone want to play something VERY realistic, then a real bot building in a garage is more recomended, but it's expensive tho.  DSL 3 beta, Nar AI, 123's new TC and so on : not yet released/in a beta stage, so I can't comment them. Replica building : I'm OK with it, I even made 1 replica in stock long time ago. Also, IMO, if you build stock, it makes you a better/hardcore builder overall ('cos stock is hard to build), so it makes the building easy later, when you move to the easier any DSL, but if you start with any DSL in the begining, later the stock will look very hard for you. *post made more clear, in the terms of meaning, now*

@ 123savethewhales : You didn't answer me. You don't visit stock showcases usually, but anyway... OK, this "Venko's recipe for an awesome wedges" is getting too scary. I built a MW "Get low" bot, and it turns out pretty good. It's not that good (but still can beat them) at defeating the SnSes and HSes (no weight to protect it better), but it still have a 2 superb snapper2 wedges. It usually rapes the NWB, and sometimes even the NF :  [slobber]Where is your god now, oh "manly one" Nary. You, the unbeliever in Venko, the one that don't want to add me as a bot type specialist in the wiki, and some other stuff.  Don't hide among the small French shadows, unhide and tell me what you think about these bots. Embrace my manly stock greatness.[/slobber]

With so much (stock) people, that are back lately, we only need a cool gigantic stock tournament.
I'm calling Ianh for this.
IAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANH, where are you!
Welcome back, duder.
As for the bot, nice, but a little generic by todays standarts.
Aaah..., build some new crazy innovative stuff, I supose?

 I also had this idea in my mind, but in the end, I just realized, that it's not worth it. I also had an idea of using the red 140s on a SnS. I seriously hope this isn't the "underground" wedge thing that was completely banned in DSL 2 years ago.
And while I also have a really stupid way to make consistent underground wedge in stock, it is not at all practical.
Nope, everything is "legit" in here, nothing goes "underground". As for the "stupid way to make consistent underground wedge", I know what you talk about, but sadly it is useless and it will be probably banned on sight. So, I'm concentrated on a legal and not cheap wedges for now  And may I ask you something that bothers me? I though you are a busy man (with all the modding and stuff), "why" with the sudden interest/subscribtion on my showcase (you are not much into stock anyway nowdays)? It's not a bad thing, but I'm just interested why. A tribute to  :

I named that bug "f****** pistons OotA" years ago (I hate the pistons, they are just too buggy). There is no solution for it, the only thing you can try is : try to mount every length of the pistons. But if you don't find a working one, you don't have an other choice, except to abandon this bot. This bug ruined some of my bots too. Although, it's a cool and different bot, it's not "top notch" bot, so "no biggie" I supose.

And they called me a "h4><0r", even forced me to make a video proof for a crossed blacks stacking, back then...

If you stack the CB into that black, you can lower the chassis, gain another 2 kilos, and extend both "arms" with a 20 cm for a wider reach. This is the last upgrade, that I can think of.

I am thoroughly confused at how you managed to get those weapons floating. Does it involve the 140cm red extenders? That would explain why you talked about how people may think they're cheap. As far as I know, no one thinks they're cheap or illegal, just kind of pointless since you could get basically the same thing for 5 Kgs.
Yep, those are red 140s, they are 70 cm long, but still have the 2 attachment points floating at the 140 cm. The deal is, that they don't have a collision hitbox for the missing 70 cm, but the cost is 35 kg sadly. If you don't have anything attached on the floating ends, the bot will just fall, like it is a regular 70 cm extender. You used those? I found them a long time ago and couldnt think of a good use. Are they effective?
Depends, IMO, they have a place only on a SHW or UHW bots. Geez venko chill out.
Well since you have the drive armored and stuff it doesn't look like a cheap norris bot to me. In fact I think it's pretty cool, using the invisible extenders to help feed HS into the weapon. Sweet.
Is there a reason for the pole spikes instead of razors?
*cough* a potential "The 100 Most Memorable RA2 Robots Of All Time" candidate, the first effective bot using a red 140s *cough* As for the my "warning", I just made my stance for equal rights for all the 140 extenders. And that's a natural reaction, when every new innovative bot of me is considered for "CHEAP" lately. The whole point is to "not" make contact with them see? You lose 1 the whole bot collapse. You want something as cheap and small as possible.
QFT, I just needed the strongest component with the smallest collision hitbox. Losing an extender is not a problem - "Mad's & Sage's ATOM bot" bumple ball mode : activate  I think the spinner part is better with Tribar. No point spending that much kg when tribar only has collision on 1 of it's 3 bars anyway.
And since you are already using Red 140, you might as well use square 140 in replacement of the black 120. If you gonna make a point you should take it all the way.
0(lack of) bars/extenders still avoid the hits better than 1 tribar bar  Of course, that I can spent that red 350 kilos for a better bot, but that wasn't the point. I just wanted to build once something that uses a red 140s, this bot and the 2-3 with a square 140s, are probably the last bots, that I built using a buggy and highly unbalanced hidden beta components. Since, there is a massive rain of a "Child's play" clones lately, I want to post something new. Behold, people like Nary-"The unsure one, about Venko's stock epic building mega-uber-skillzz" and other nonbelievers :  It have many weapons, no one can survive more than 2 hits. This popup is probably the best stock popup so far/for now)! Due to 2 reasons : 1. This bot can do a thing, that I considered impossible before few days : it totally outwedge the NF (a bot with a superb DDT wedges) with a use of snapper2 wedges, AI vs AI, in a direct wedge contact. I'm stupefied, even scared, from my wedges building 1337 5|<||15. 2. It beats (very often) the above bots ^ (and every other, that I throw at him), which can be considered a PitA to beat with any popup (or even any other bot type). One day, this bot will be a legend probably. Are you "convinced" now, Nary? The pics are censored, and they will stay in that way, as long as I compete in a tournaments, even a small sneak peek at my innovation will lead to a rain of clones, which I don't like. When I succeed to proove my stock legacy in the realms of RA2 for the eons (and I'm about to leave permanently), then you can have that bot (and the others as well) and copy it or whatever.

Cute, but you definitely need a longer/wider reach for those "claws". To gain a weight for more extenders or whatever, you can sacrifice the middle 2 casters.

 back, NFX. Nice bot. We can use one more exellent stock builder (you) right now, since stock is pretty much dead.

What I tryed to explain to Lightning S. basically was, that we usually don't get any speed or pushing advantage, if the drive is on a snapper, in a rammer for example. An ancient chineese text says : The best way to protect an extender is the lack of the extender :  [warning] Since the 140 square extenders are allowed almost everywhere, I will not tolerate a double standarts! So, if someone : consider this use of red 140s (35 kgs per each) as "CHEAP or ILLEGAL", but it's OK with the 140 square; or a bots that used them (red 140s) are labeled as "the new Cheap Norris" and banned, but a bots with 140 square - not; or allow in a tournament the square one only --- it will experiance a serious -rep -ing + adding him to my "black list". I'm not joking![/warning]

i dont think it helped that you named it "cheap norris"
Probably, but why a name of a bot even matters here? I named the bot like this, cos it was using the "cheap" 140s, which I hate. It's basically like this : ClickB makes "Hide and Seek" multibot for "Clash of the titans" - "clever use of game mechanics" and clever ClikcB; Venko makes a legal VS/HS hybrid with 2WD, with a powered drive motors, nothing touches the ground initially or without breaking the extenders - "UBER CHEATY BOT ALARM" started by some users, that don't like me. Is this fair? If it's someone else - OK, if it's Venko - problems, problems, problems... Also, remember, cheap =/= illegal. And one question to everyone : what if I built CN with some extender protection, where is the borderline between the "legal" VS/legged bot and CN? How much weight to spend for an extender protection? Why Insect is legal, cos of 4 swords? What if I remove some chassis protection and add 4 sowrds to CN? Will it be "legal" then? CN is imposible to build without the 140s (Trov saw the useless no-140s version), this was my punishment to 090901 for allowing the 140s, that was in my mind when I said, that "I entered as a part of my anti-140s tactic". When I see, that the 140s are allowed somewhere, I enter with a bot, that it's imposible without them, so if I win, I can say : If you wouldn't allowed them, this would never happen :) Although, I didn't won with CN, it's not that much of advantage or immortal. Now, I will quit spamming this thread.

i'm pretty sure it'll get banned and breaks the controlled movement rule.
How it breaks it? How the CN breaks it too? It's not like I'm trying to enter with a crawler or something... Instead of banning the uber ghey cheaty 140 squares and the uberstack, the people are banning my innovations (Cheap Norris - already banned, Venko's magic uber wedges - ban proposed by Maz, possible future uber damage - ban proposed by Nar, or whatever), made to replace the eons old boring clasic bot types. If my bots are "that" much scary, people just can ban me from entering anywhere - problem solved. The banning of every bot I built lately (even if it fits in the rules on paper) is kinda insultive, not right and it hurts for the builder. All, keep that politics, and let's see what will happen.

You are of course free to experiment with the physics of course, since you never know what you might find.
^ QFT. IMO, in RA2 it repays to be a crazy experimentator.

Explains why I failed math.
Nope, just there is a big difference between : "AI vs AI" and "Player vs AI" in the battles in RA2. So yeah, maybe I overreacted, but I was still kinda right for this bot  Anyway, I wish you "a good luck with your progress in RA2"/"to become a good builder", have fun with RA2.
