It is, sadly, just a case of trial and error. What I find, for some reason, is that if you take a top-down view of your robot, place one Supervolt in there, and then rotate the camera 90 degrees to the right, it makes it a bit easier to stack the second one in there. I don't know why this is, but it helped a great deal when I was in the process of making Halestorm 5.

Watch my tutorial, it helps. It explains everything you need to do.

In the tutorials section under "RA2: Tips and Tricks."

No, he's suggesting that we put a can of worms on our bots. :P

Anyway, I find that stacking just comes from practice. At the beginning, I couldn't even stack a black but now I can stack 3.

All I can stack in stock are pinks and anchors.

I don't think for a second JoeBlo would be advising BFE at all.
 
He's talking about AAM. ;)

maybe...

AAM is what all the hip kids do  :gawe:

or maybe a game that has a whole pile of components with modified collision meshes to allow overlapping... but who has something like that

*looks away*

Only cheaters and mods use BFE.
As for me:.......................................................Truth-Meter
None of ___ bots have BFE!................................(ok)
Not one of my bots has BFE!.... (more like 50)........(better).
One of my bots does not have BFE!......................(reality)

 
 
 
Actually you can do a lot with patient perseverance stacking.....
 
 (Should make a smiley-icon out of this.... and AAM.)

JoeBlo! How could you?! (Could you send it to me please?) :P Joking, joking....

I agree with Mad here. BFE and AAM is acceptable on non-serious bots but it is not acceptable on any other bots. That includes for stacking.

If BFE and AAM was allowed, we'd have a flood of newbies coming through going, "OH LOOK MY NEW BOTS I HAVE 5 CROSS STACKED BLACKS AND 8 HP Z-TEK DRIVE IN A 2 X 2 CHASSIS WHOOPS I HAVE CAPS LOCK ON LOLOLOLOL!!!!11!"

Would you want that?

Post by: JoeBlo on October 10, 2010, 03:02:46 AM
no that would never happen.. because you would still have to learn how to do it legal or not :P

JoeBlo! How could you?! (Could you send it to me please?)

no chance high pants :P I will never hand it out for obvious reasons.. I dont even touch it for any public shown robots..

my response was towards everyone (I know someone will legitimately try and get it off me) easier to quote your post for doing so
Title: Re: Stacking
Post by: Gazea2 on October 10, 2010, 04:53:37 AM
Ah... Ok. :)

I can stack anyway (as you can see on my bots) so I wouldn't need it. :P

Must've been Sweet Poppin' Corns that gave it away...

I remember you debating about making an easy AAM program on the old forum...

Although, I'm tempted to use some of my tricks and cheats to make better bots, I generally spend the time to stack things by hand (but I do have a few bots that I cheated on). I also know a glitch involving some python coding that I've used instead of AAM on one of my bots.
