Alright, I separated this from the Pay Tribute With Replicas thread...
I'm not sure what part you are getting stuck at so here it is from start to end:
- Start up RA2, you go into TEAM HQ.
- Select a team or make a new one and hit continue (or double click the team).
- Double click a bot or a empty slot (still in Robot Inventory). If you are starting from scratch, you will need to make the chassis first (click the Chassis tab and go through the steps Chassis Design process).
- Now that you have a bot, go into the Components tab before selecting a component and hitting attach (or double click the 2D preview).
- Hover your cursor over the chassis of your bot. If it is red then read the blue text at the bottom of the screen to find out why. If it is not red but the component isn't inside of the chassis then you selected a component that only attaches to other components (such as wheels to spin motors). Otherwise, go ahead and hit the the left mouse button. This should attach the component in the position that you were previously hovering at but if it didn't make sure that none of the other conditions in this step were met (a baseplate anchor should work for something like this).
