I miss venko's showcase. :PMiss no more...
I think we found something similar to the uberstacking you used to do (Hax Mode)No, I anathematize this "HAX MODE", (not to mention it's useless in a very small chassis) all that I stacked back then is legally possible to achieve, and here is the "Venko's uber stack tutorial" :
...welcome back venko!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIInf, read the last sentence in my signature...
The first is a BW dude. Pretty sure someone can pull that off without that stack anyways since you can make the chassis smaller without the HPZ in it and then just use a BA stacking inside a nifty.
The second one is totally useless against anything in the AW class.
How is "something else"? You are still saving a crap ton of chassis space by putting 3 blacks together in the same spot. Oh, and by what I have done/tried, I think stacking components that are the same is harder (other than BAs, blue snappers, pinks, axles, air tanks, and contral boards) is harder than stacking 2 components that have different component meshes.
Hey, congrats on your veteran status dude.Thanks.
bulgeria has to have one of the wierdest chassis ive seen in a while.
"Bulgaria" is the country, that I'm from. The chassis have the shape of my country.
is there any difference between MIDF 3 and 4?
Yes, a 2 snapper II setup and a 1 snapper II setup.
insect could really benefit from the 140cm extenders
I don't like them, they give cheaty advantage.
...The Infinite~ <3...Since You love The Infinite, here is some trivia for it :
...Looks pretty effective...Nope, that bot is a complete crap in battle, I'm posting it, just 'cos maybe the problem is in me, and someone somday can build something effective out of this.
...All the criticism you got probably came at a good point in RA2's life...It was the dark ages for me, but I miss that time, just it's not the same now :( :violin
1. I knew that :P...The Infinite~ <3...Since You love The Infinite, here is some trivia for it :
1. It's my very first SHW (we didn't have a UHW back then) and I used the ACAMS antiballast.
2. This 7 tons FS metal cube have like a zillion pinks.
3. The original idea behind it, was to be a "self defending safe", a steel box completely harmless on first look, but then..., but I didn't succeed to hide everything inside like in "HW-Deadliest crate ever!", plus I was a noob back then.
4. Altho the second Lite Edition is better in effectiveness, I like a lot more how the first looks. I'm considering it the prettiest bot I've ever made. Just see it, You realize, that You have a big problem when You see it in front of You...
5. Since this stuff is highly outdated, I'm working on a new version, highly epic than this one, I'm a better builder now... Why? 'Cos I can..., 'cos I can...
Builders block is just an excuse, why not do something else with the game instead of being children in playground? Mod/skin an arena, create an AI pack, host a tournament, create some components, make a tutorial...be useful..My third tool is released.

THE FBS/SHELL SPINNER IS SOOOO AWESOMEToo bad that the disks fall intact before the maces when attacked from side...
>Robot with a trollface for a chassisI'm assuming You are speaking about the dangerous troll bot. You have to "zoom" and "preview the image at full screen" the pic, since it's an animated GIF wich shows the inside, but the image upload site shows a smaller and unanimated preview at first...
Alright, I'm curious: I wanna' see an inside shot, to see the exact chassis shape.
You have to zoom-Did that just now.
I'm open for an ideas of how to make a better maces setup, that will protect better the discs. Then it will be damn good.Because no one has made those articles yet? One proof-of-concept bot isn't enough to warrant an entire wiki article.
Also, why I can't find in https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Bot_types (https://gametechmods.com/forums/../RA2wiki/index.php?title=Bot_types) here a "vibro ram", "shell spinner in stock" or a "crusher" bot type?
1. One proof-of-concept bot isn't enough to warrant an entire wiki article.1. At least, I'm trying. But I'm alone in this. You are a good builder, You can try to build one of these too. The stock is slowly dying. Most of the vets don't even build stock anymore. And if someone build something, it's from the "race for the best wedge only" that ruined stock. I also have some unshowcased damn good bots with superb wedges, but is this stopped me to build things without wedges?
2. Anyway I don't understand...is a shell spinner just a compact horizontal spinner?
compared to DSL and all this IRL stuff, stock is on life support.QFT
because the constant stacking, overlapping and the mad axle load chains is too much of a hassle. It's no fun at all spending 30min on an axle load only to have it disappear or fail it because you have failed at attaching 1 me.compared to DSL and all this IRL stuff, stock is on life support.QFT
Nar, wake up. Stock is dead. I will disappear permanently very soon, and Inf is becoming more and more busy with IRL stuff. So the stock will lose this two "Atlases" very soon...
Btw, why You are not building stock anymore?
lol someone should enter a Nasty Pickle bot.
Kamikaze box would be better if you managed to stack the anchors back to back and have the iron more centred.I will try, meanwhile choose an AWs for your pack...
Join the 1WD Crusade, we have cookies.
Why people are always opposite, instead of baning the 140 extender and the uberstack, they forbid crawlers and 1WDs. They looks pretty legal to me and some can show a control movement. They are normal bots that have an advantages and disadvantages, why for example Sage didn't win the HW stock BBEANS with his crawler...
1WD wouldn't be a problem if AI'd robots just let them sit there and get countered out instead of always charging at them.With MeltyBrain AI, the 1WD bots can move properly anyway. In fact, I know my LW 1WD HS series move faster than some 2WD designs.
Sage didn't win thanks to low walls and hazards IIRC :P
1WD wouldn't be a problem if AI'd robots just let them sit there and get countered out instead of always charging at them.
the thing is when the opponent has more battery life they will keep ramming head first into your weapons at good enough speed to cause fatal damage to that bot.
I know they slow down after a minute or so but sometimes more weapons are better than the extra pink so you can outweapon the opponent and WPB.Once again, sorry if I sound too direct and critic, I know You have good bots, I just wanted to say You to be more concentrated on the efficiency. I also do testing for CombatAnts, and 1 pink bots sux at generally... Also, a 4 AWs fight is something different...
I have a different opinion on this. You can't do any dmg due to a snail speed even before the first minute.
I don't get owned by starcore AW's, lots of my AW's dominate SC AW's.
Of course, I wanted to point out that a SC AW win your tourney, my bad.
My AW's are not art either (except stock mini's),
Do You have a stock mini of mine bot btw?
it's me attempting new but hopefully effective designs to keep things interesting and fresh, I do have more then one chassis too BTW and some have DSA some have plastic, some have 1 pink, some have 2 pinks and some even have 3.
Can You showcase some of them, I'm curious, I get the impression that You use only the Triforce chassis, sorry.
Look at Oil drill 2, it blocks rammers with the plow and drills at their tops causing some serious damage and possibly even KO'ing the rammer.
Would be better if You replace the free axel with an extenders and 1 more razor, I have my doubts about the efficiency of the spinning.
Snapper II isn't good as a hammer/popup burst sadly, just look at chest burster in SCAI it gets one shot off before it starts struggling.
Sad, but true.
I like 3, 5 and 7 the best out of those and I also like the improvement on the kamikaze box.
Kamikaze box still have that drifting problems, it can't go straight driven by a human. #5 depends on your 140 extender politics...
Thats because damage is calculated from the speed of the object from the weapon sources side (The robot).QFT!
So thats why Jugglers, Popups and Flail SnS/HS exist. They are very frequent fast hits. It's also why using axles as weapon motors is jokingly unreliable.
I totally want to make my own version of Trap.
It's idea is so simple, but it looks absolutely hilarious, which makes it all the more reason why it's awesome.
They don't use the phrase "Venko bot" for nothing...
Also, out of curiosity, have you ever done anything involving any of the game's cheatbot2 parts?
Yes, I have a few, but right now I don't have the time to find and showcase them.
lol you should try an AW version of insect that goes over other AW's and rips at the top of them.... :
OMG how did I miss this post? That thing looks awesome, shame it doesn't drive backwards without falling over though :rageThat's it's one weakness...... For now.
Oh god, my sides xD
That AW is flat-out brilliant.OMG how did I miss this post? That thing looks awesome, shame it doesn't drive backwards without falling over though :rageThat's it's one weakness...... For now.
...but I'm not too sure about the drive being way out there like it, don't they get knocked off a bit often?Do You see often a broken drive in the battleshots?
...so what happens when #2 runs into a flipper...
...it just seems like anything with a wedge would kill it. Or a flipper...Wrong, I would put a wedges on that bot, if it shows on the tests that it needs one.
...Actually 2 still has a better drive-to-weight ratio than 3. But yeah, 1 should still be faster...I was expecting very poor entrants, that's why I wrote "best DtoW".
...I don't think it's very visible on 1 or 2...If You can barely see the skin of a bot (not due to lame splash), this is an enormous compliment for the bot, it means it don't have weak spots.
What's that? I can't quite hear you from atop your mile high pedastal.Hey! You didn't meet the requirements!
Also, my apologies to Nar, if the pedo stuff was way too "messing around with a bud".

You posted it on April 2nd. So excuse me for believing it.It was 1st april in my country and in GTM when I posted it...
but people can change.
People that do things like Noodle, still must be banned, but generally even he can change.but people can change.
THIS, is false. Don't be silly, people never change. A bi-polar guy on another forum I'm on was banned years ago for overreacting to everything, he claimed he wanted to change and tried to. He came back, and did the same as what he did prior to his ban. Granted, this is just one guy, but still, people never change.
Found it, the time difference was the reason :You posted it on April 2nd. So excuse me for believing it.It was 1st april in my country and in GTM when I posted it...
My post edit must have changed the date to today (2nd).
Logout, to see that the GTM time when loged out is different from the UK time when You are loged in.

Anyone want to play "guess the setup" on this one?

ahhhhh so niceeee....even if the chassis could stand to be a wee bit more compact.If I make the chassis airtight, I will gain only a 2-3 kilos and what? This way at least it looks more like the original cubic TI.
and now that you're back and pumping out venkreations (Venko-creations for your Bulgarian translator), I am going to hate it when you leave.
I think it's because you don't balance the weight on the axle, and it breaks.That, or just balancing each Z-Tek off an Axle, in general, will cause it to become wonky.
Nevermind guys, it wasn't that.I think it's because you don't balance the weight on the axle, and it breaks.That, or just balancing each Z-Tek off an Axle, in general, will cause it to become wonky.
did you test it against 123's sns...?Nevermind guys, it wasn't that.I think it's because you don't balance the weight on the axle, and it breaks.That, or just balancing each Z-Tek off an Axle, in general, will cause it to become wonky.
I just built some totally new one setups for this, and it works well now.
So well, it's actually better than 123save's one in effectiveness and protection.
No 140 ext. as well.
It even went straight into my secret folder if You know what this means... :mrgreen:

if you dont have them i can send them + ai to you
...I don't understand...is a shell spinner just a compact horizontal spinner?...
...also yeah it's technically not a shell spinner since no shell, but since it's just painful to make an actual shell spinner in stock, this is the next best thing...
...if I made it with a ramplates all over for example, it will look more like a SS, but it will be pathetic in combat, so...You wanted a real shell spinner, so here it is :
... unless you use emergency wedges instead of the ram plates :rolleyes:that would not work at and would be way worse.
I think it's 6V nifty! /badpuni literally have NO idea what you are talking about.
pwnator also did something like that for his jupitor rebuild that he tried for SCv4, see the starcore thread in modifications and designs (?)actually i only posted it in my showcase because it looked sloppy lawl
Me neither.I think it's 6V nifty! /badpuni literally have NO idea what you are talking about.
Holy crap you stacked six pinks together?You should totally check this out then :
1 black > 6 pinks.Do You think that I don't know that, perhaps You will stack for me a black in this no-free-space chassis?
actually i only posted it in my showcase because it looked sloppy lawlYou should use 4 HP drive for exchange for a more weapons + no static irons + less free axles but with many irons stacked on one axle (5 instead of 2) + one blue snapper drive setup.
So yeah, I used static irons instead of ramplates, which should help just in case something prevents it from spinning. But yeah, it still looks sloppy.
I cloned this bot with some enhancements (better setup, wider, more sloped front, better "castering", 4 razors totally stacked), but it's still not a top level bot.So I decided to make a different approach, but I miscalculated the needed space, and just before I was about to start the chassis again, I came up with an another idea.
It lacks pushing power, and it's not so wedgy.
The casters do their work, they even protect the wheels when I rotated the drive at 180, and it turns faster now.
The biggest problem that I ran into, is when my wheels touch the other bot chassis and then my bot starts to drive backwards.

This can be good, if I find somehow more weight to spend on wider and taller cage.
*rides away from the ghost thread*
140cms?I'm against this beta stage abomination component, that was removed/hidden from the final/original product (RA2) for good.
I'm against this beta stage abomination component, that was removed/hidden from the final/original product (RA2) for good.
it's a bottom spinner. pretty good but it might need some rear stabilzers.
No free weight for this.
why give blue snappers a pass then?
It's used on bots from the original AI, the 140s not. It's a leftover from a beta stage probably.
IIRC the blue snaps arent used on anythingIt's used on bots from the original AI, the 140s not. It's a leftover from a beta stage probably.
So, any advices for his improving, or for the clone, or I should remake the chassis and try to finish the original idea for a popup?No one gave any advices about this one... ^

Imagine that there's a super-ballast at the front of the bot that makes it tilt forward...at least, that's my interpretation.
Yeah, except the entire chassis gets lifted off the ground. Here's the Gyro Drill page if you want to try and make sense of it: https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Gyro_Drill (https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Gyro_Drill)Gyro Drill

Wouldn't that just be an angled spinner?
wait, that acctually works? dope afYes, it don't fall, the MW one can even bounce when the piston is fired.
What is "dope af"?it's as awesome as a particular four letter english word
Awesome bot man.Which one?
Nice bot, could use a better skin though :thumbupNope, the skin is perfect.
It would also better serve from a different method of mounting the drive IMO. With the snappers horizontally attached to the baseplate instead.It will be more stable, but I fire the snappers (spread the drive) now as an anti-stuck system.
2000 DPS/second ? Clearly you haven't been ramming enough rammers together.:facepalm:

A new experiment :
(http://imageshack.us/scaled/thumb/13/baikonur.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/13/baikonur.jpg/)
...
Just saying, batteries don't actually count as weight in the chassis, so you can put as many as you want IIRC
They do count as weight. if you make a seesaw chassis with 2 blacks on one end and only one black on the other end and go to the test garage, the end with the 2 blacks will always fall down.^QFT. That is how sh**s like ItI works without wedges...
The bot looks nice but those wedges probably suck.Although, I must say, it's a lame bot at general !
True.
looks like it could also benefit from either having the spinners further back or having longer front supports to lower the chances of it tipping over when hitting other bots.
The bot don't have that problem, so no need for a change about that.
As usual, Venko, you leave Me in a state of awe as to how you make such crazyness.On the chassis itself.
speaking of which, what are you holding down the HPZs with? Anchors? Snappers? What? O,o
HPZ > Extender > HPZ > Extender > HPZ > Disc > Iron.^QFT
Out of curiosity, Venko, can that bot clear pits?Actually he never really AI's his bots.
Wait, no, silly question- You AI your bots to test them.

Generally ^, usually I pretend "AI acting" pretty well, but once I did some very basic AI for my NF outwedging bot, so he outwedge (not 100% of the tries tho) NF AI vs AI in a direct wedge-wedge contact.
I have a new interesting news.
I achieved the "wedges stucked/sinked into the ground slightly" bug
I can post some pics, but of course that they will be censored.
I'm going now to apply all this new knowledge to my new HWs, MWs, etc. bots. GG, everyone go home.
Oh good, more colour text.
In case, if someone see this huge plain text and decide that's maybe not interesting, I use a colorful text from like 2008, it's not against the rules, you know...
Would it be allowed in tournaments, as it's a bug/glitch/whatever?
It's snapper, extenders, extenders...wedge. Nothing more special, so they will have to forbid all the wedges then.
Why would they be censored?
- wants more stock robots and tournaments and stuff.
Yes, I just don't want to show my best stuff for now. It's my right, you know... So yeah, I prefer to keep my best stuff secret, but to not win (maybe) every stock tournament (just a maybe). It's bad for me mostly, so I don't see what is your problem with that.
- tells everyone to go home because he's going to win it allgg everyone go homeIf Pwn can joking sometimes, so I can too. The problem is in the double standart (not smart people) on this forum, if Pwn said it - it's a joke, but if I said it - it's not. It's called a "bias", and it's the reason for the half of the flame wars at least. Also, it's on a SHW for now, I don't have it on HWs etc. bots for now.
Pretty much all the occasions I encountered a bot having wedges sinking underground, the other bot does as well (should it have wedges), so it will still be a wedge war. :<
Can't remember such a strange thing, but in my testings, only the my bot was with sinked wedges, so dunno what you are talking about.
Nice to someone being able to do it consistently, though.
However, even when I failed to sink the wedges, I still outwedge NF, so it's still a win. As for the rapid spin bug, it's very easy to replicate, so it works, the only problem is, that the setup for it is very heavy, the advantage is, that it achieves it's max speed way faster than 2 chained HPs, and it's not so easy to stop, since nothing is chained.
Dat Grenade........is a "rape train" :
Does it, like, cause said explosion each time you battle with it?Nope, rarely. Go watch the NvsF videos, it havoked 1 or 2 times for the whole tournament.
Is this consistent enough to occur on most of the bots you're gonna build from now on? If so, SWEET.I'm going to say "yes". It occur on every bot of me with a wedges lately, plus, when was the last time when you saw an enhaced VS to totaly outwedge the NF? But the good news are 2 :
I plan to reveal my secrets and post a detailed tutorials before I leave permanently.<3
before I leave permanently.I'm gonna hate you for this :<
I will have to (I also want to stay, but...), when I start a job and concentrate on IRL stuff.before I leave permanently.I'm gonna hate you for this :<
If this is another thing that only works on your copy of the game I'll be really mad though.Impossibru, so don't worry ;) I can rar and release my RA2 copy, but I'm 100% sure, that the variations from a player to player are PC hardware based only, so there is no point, but if there is enough interest, no problem to do it, who knows, maybe I unlocked somehow some very rare bug :smile:
dude don't leave...I'm not leaving for now...Chill out, I just want my bots rar to be ready, not to make it in the last minute.
But you must understand, that this is unavoidable at some point in time for EVERYONE in here...
you're one of the best stock builders we have
Ho-ho-ho, just you wait to see what "nightmares" my "bots pack" will have...
Thanks!
...Freeman Episode 2...What's this? And what you mean?
Is that a chassis drum?It can be improved A LOT, but I'm lazy. It just needs more stabilizers, just in case. It's not very combat worthy tho. The DDTs flips him, when the arena is loaded, then my tricky mechanism makes it moving, since, if your bot is sideways, you can't turn with a normal drive system (RA2 engine limitation), you need a crawler or the system of this bot. The turning of this bot is not that great tho. But what the heck, it's still cool.
Yep.
I have never seen that before.
That's a bot from me from 2008 I think.
If it spins, then I :heart_smiley: you.
Yep, the bot "moves" "relatively normally", and thanks!
Venko, if you ever upgrade/tweak/modify that Freeman bot, then it becomes Freeman Episode 2And I get the feeling we would never see a 3rd version.
No matter how cool it looks, I'm still not convinced how that anti-HS has enough weapons to beat a HS straight on.(http://imageshack.us/a/img221/2690/tbs.gif)
I used a tricky smart zone and AI, so it spins only when the enemy is pinned. So they don't spin/show and get destroyed when the HS is not yet pinned, the casters are taking the hits. I just wanted to demonstrate a good anti HS hybrid concept.
I know the point is to pin, stop spinners and then reach the extenders and tribars but still 8 weapons, attacking a HS face-on ?
First, I never said that this is some kind of an uber good bot (it's showcased after all), second, I always test my bots. So it's "OK" with what it supose to do, 8 flail irons on enhaced HPs are enough to kill a not spinning HS. The number
_____________________________________________________________________||
of weapons is not the most important part always, the bot showed under \/ has less (4 lousy razors), but it's way more effective in ANY aspect.
Top trappers: ::badideaWho builds tall robots anyways?
Tall opponents WILL be a pain to beat
Alien Quenn ans Heaven s'sawmill 1 are tall botsDo you really think it would even have a chance against those without the trappers? Hammer bots usually get murdered against VS.
I already made a bot named Spinja D:I'm pretty sure that's why he referenced you in the post :dumb)
I like both bots though.
How well do the trappers work?Spinja - ok/average
I do believe you can save a few kg's on extender work by attaching the top swords to the anchors holding the ramplates.Let's say I gain 10 kilos, then what? Adding a wedges or a new DDT weapon system with 10 kgs?
Tall opponents WILL be a pain to beatOr the wedgy opponents, or any good opponents actually,... if you get my point. I posted these bots to prove a concept, they are not top combat bots.
Do you really think it would even have a chance against those without the trappers?The top trapping swords are actually "A MUST HAVE"! The HSs always slips up or bumples around and rape me, when I test a trapper without top swords. Remember, that I always test my bots, also, in a different configurations to find out the best one.
Wow, I totally missed that :dumb)I don't like when the poeple don't read my huge posts, but yeah, I stole that name, so I gave you a credit there. :mrgreen:
One more weapon ? Or a very slightly lighter and therefore faster bot ?I do believe you can save a few kg's on extender work by attaching the top swords to the anchors holding the ramplates.Let's say I gain 10 kilos, then what? Adding a wedges or a new DDT weapon system with 10 kgs?
I know, that you want to help, and I'm thankful for it, but...
One more weapon ?
The max weight, that can be mounted on the DDT is allready reached, one more razor and it won't get back into his intial position.
Or a very slightly lighter and therefore faster bot ?
To be read ^ : "Cut your nails to loose some weight". Nar,... seriously? One more pink, anyone? :dumb)
Damn you and your 4 stacked black batts.
And you say that snapper-enhancing drive motors does nothing...It really does nothing! Dude, look, if you think, that I'm lieing you or something, you can easily make some bots and test this, VERY easily...
Basically you built a mega-trinity?Nope. No pistons.
Damn you and your 4 stacked black batts.How about the 20 stacked pinks :trollface
interesting, do you still need to fire the snappers for that amount of flexibility?Nope, they are not even wired, they twists cos their axels are weak. The bot just spins SOOOOOOO fast, that the snappers;drive motors;weapon motors axels are displaced/removed (from the original position) due to the enormous centrifugal force. "The axels amount of the displacement" is proportional to the spinning speed, and in that pic, is one of a h**l "amount of the displacement", for those that don't understand...
Also, I'm going to +rep S.H.I.E.L.D, for the manly act of uploading of his controversy bot "Black tarantula". His bot have a static wedge, titanium armour and it's not invertible and can't srimech usually. Now I can finaly test it and proof my theory. 1 vs 1, one match only, Combat Arena, hazards OFF, 3 mins matches, Starcore 3, AI vs AI (popup.py), 29 wins in total vs all the 69 SC3 HWs (this means, that it can beat only 42% of the HWs). The result can variate, but still is a fail IMO, considering how weak are most of the SC3 bots. So NO : "almost unstoppable, has beaten the whole roster of Starcore 3"; "it can trash more than 2/3 of the SC3 bots" or whatever.
A huge pic with the results :
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 :dumb)
Anyway, I wish you "a good luck with your progress in RA2"/"to become a good builder", have fun with RA2.
And you say that snapper-enhancing drive motors does nothing...The point of "boosting" is purely to increase instability, and therefore drive axle detachment during the spin. This creates the "return to axle" force that pulls outward in all directions, result in a significant speed boost in rotation.
Is there a reason for the pole spikes instead of razors?
Oh yeah I forgot about that. I think they could be upgraded to irons though, he has a little weight...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.
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.*cough* a potential "The 100 Most Memorable RA2 Robots Of All Time" candidate, the first effective bot using a red 140s *cough*
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.

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 :trollface
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.0(lack of) bars/extenders still avoid the hits better than 1 tribar bar ;)
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.
How did you get 123's SnS??123 sent it to me, and i sent it to him.

I seriously hope this isn't the "underground" wedge thing that was completely banned in DSL 2 years ago.
Of course instead of red extenders, you use either typhoon flag or t-minus arm in DSL.
made around may 2010(https://gametechmods.com/forums/../uploads/images/33713hehe.gif)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.

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 :smile:
Sweet bots. The anti-popup HS is a pretty common DSL design, cool to see it in stock.

Actually? I thought it was pretty innovative by Venko. I must not spend much time in the DSL section
Venko outwedges the NF with a snapper2 wedges MW bot - meh
You are aware that being an arrogant bastard is a-OK here if you have the skills to back it up ?fact : All the time it's like : If someone else do something - it's OK, but if I do it - it becomes a problem.
Unless you're called Venko for some reason.
dudes, meth labs that way --->fact : The above 4 guys believe, that I'm some kind of an ultimate trouble maker/evil/annoyer in GTM, and I even do it on purpose.
venko. no matter what you build, none of your bots will ever be compared to the known veterans who are active and lurk considering i've never seen you online, nor enter tournaments.fact : I can also add, that some poeple didn't belived me for other stuff as well.
People don't respond because you don't show anything. If you want to keep everything you find to yourself and make a showcase that doesn't show, don't expect anyone to care. I thought that should be obvious.
-Also, it's not a fact saying "no one cares for my work", cause I like your stuff.didn't see that in there.
