Venko
Overview
Venko has been a member of the forums for only a few months, but he learned quickly and now is one of the most active bot builders on the GameTechMods Forums, before his departure. He claims he can build any type of bot, but he likes to build ultra powerful SuperHeavyWeights or freak bots just for fun, that is why he claims he is a "bot artist". He is the only Bulgarian on the forum.
He is very good at glitches and excellent in stacking, perhaps because of his glitchy game, which has caused some members to accuse him of cheating, but he made a video as proof against this accusation.
His showcase, which contains a large amount of Flame wars, is the basis for the Venko Effect, named so by Naryar.
Venko is one of the few builders that don't build in DSL. He just doesn't have enough time to learn and experiment with all the new parts in DSL.
Venko tried to decompile the RA2 .EXE back to C++[Assembler] so that someone that can program in C++[Assembler] could edit it and make or change some stuff in it for good, but he failed, sadly. With this failure, his dreams of an animated .GIF chassis or a .TGA chassis with alpha channel (transparency) disappeared too.
Venko is currently hosting his Freak Bot design contest A.D.D.I.C.T. 1.
He actually finished on his .TGA alpha channel tutorial that will help others edit or create for decals, component skins, UIs, and arena skins for RA2. He is also contributing (bots, skins, UI's) to some of the many AI packs being created on the gametechmods forums, most of which have not been released yet.
