also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**
Hammers like that almost always have 2 wedges and 3+ plows instead of those ramplates. You should learn about stacking and other basic glitches if you're dead-set on getting better at stock, otherwise there's no real point to building in stock. Try stacking 2 blacks together and putting the 4 drive motors on 1 or 2 snappers using the eFFe glitch, and using your spare weight to shrink the chassis a crapton and maybe get another DDT.Also, use shinies or rubbers (or very situationally slipperbottoms), not N-12 wheels.

I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything
Your build style is really not suited to the Stock meta. These bots would work so much better in DSL.
DSL-IRL is the libtard’s meta. Go drink more soylent, retard! #BLUELIVESMATTER
do you have 3 or 6 AI bots per team? just wondering because it doesn't look like you have the ui from v2 or v3 and went to straight to v4

I was wondering if v4 needed earlier packs, currently I have a copy of RA2 with SC1 and one that was directly patched with v4(so I only have 3 bots, thought that SC4 would make them 6 via the teams file but guess not), will patch that later.

Let me tell you that you are not alone in some ways. I am against using hax mode and file editing your bot in Stock, but I find the odd glitch only helps with creativity. Putting the black batteries on top of each other for example means you've got more room for everything else, if that means more drive, more weapons or more armour, great!RA2 should be fun above all, so if you have fun building replicas and sticking to "realistic" design bots without intersecting components, that's fine. You can still enter tournaments, enter competitions and challenge other members, but the bots you build will (more often than not) be at a disadvantage to the members who do use glitches and stuff and everyone here will always try and advise you how to be more "competitive", but just play the way you do - you don't have to follow anyone's advice if you don't want to!
Thanks for the feedback, a bit offtopic but I do have a question about your bot, how did you get the maces as well as razors on the drums?

Then a whole lot of patience and rotating till everything clips together. Maces are annoying because they aren't easy to overlap with anything, razors easily rotate inside each other so I fit the 4 maces on the end of the extenders and attached the razors one by one, rotating and removing everything until it all fit together.
VS looks pretty cool. When was it flipping, when it was hit or when it started to spin up?As for stacking, I find it to be a massive pain in the ass too. To be honest, usually I just RA2CF or BFE the 2nd black in after I've built everything else. It's a waste of time otherwise.
I mean nobody can tell if you BFE/RA2CF to stack blacks. The rules really mean "Don't do stuff that's only possible with RA2CF or BFE etc", such as tiny invincible chassis with battery armour etc

Back when I couldn't stack blacks I just stacked two anchors and then changed the component.
