*facepalm*
That is just their name, all stock wheels have the same grip(traction) IIRC.
And your bot veering off to one side is because of the weight distribution (make it as symmetrical as possible :P)
He never said it was in stock to be fair, and obviously DSL has mixed grip rates for the wheels.
But yes, it'll most likely be the weight distribution in the bot, even on the inside you should  try and keep the bot symmetrical.

If it is symmetrical, or changing the weight distribution doesn't help, i'd double check your controls, and their names as well.

Most chassis' will just be a box with not much thought behind it IMO.
So are most DSL robots (Specifically of the SNS type and VS type)
Ah, they have to be the right size for everything needed to fit in so they do have thought behind them :P
But in stock they would just have to be a certain size and you could put nearly anything you wanted in there without re-sizing or whatever.
EH?
Have you even played stock!

We could put it to a poll and see what we could do.

I still don't see why it shouldn't be released and regulated, in the same way as the Realistic rule in DSL is. If we treat the Superstacking glitch the same way as we treat BFE and AAM, then people will still build in the same way as they have been, with Snapper Loading, eFFeing, things like that. It won't kill off Stock, unless people actually TRY to kill it off.
That's the thing though, there is no way to tell what is hax glitched and what has just been normally stacked!

Too over dramatic?
Yes, although some parts aren't far off.

I agree, DON'T release it guys, it would be the death of stock.
Interesting or new stacks would be branded as hax too easily, and everybody would lose interest, I mean imagine how much easier it would be to build if nothing collided with anything else in stock! Making a top bot would be too easy for anybody to care.
In the end Stock would probably have to become "realistic" in order to remain somewhat popular, although, even then, why not just play DSL instead at that point...

If you don't release this glitch, stock will continue as it is popularity wise fro a bit longer, atleast untill somebody else figures out how to do it...

Damon didn't deserve to win a world championship anyway ;P

Speaking of Formula 1, does anyone know what I can do for 7 hours in the car while I'm on my way down to Silverstone on Thursday?
oooooooh, going to f1? Awesome!
I was supposed to be going this year, but nope.
I've been once before, it is brilliant, although i was unlucky enought to go in 2009, which was a surprisingly boring racce.
Still, hopefully button doesn't have any problems in his race, and voila, an interesting race.
It annoys me that all this season he has been the only one who has been aggressive enough to constantly try and beat vettel....

It annoys me that Vettel's been winning everything. We've had four spectacular seasons in a row, the last thing we need is another Schumacher/Ferrari pairing that is impossible to beat. I hope that the race goes a bit differently.
The thing is, ya gotta hate him, but also, it's very impressive.
It's not like Schumacher really, because, the car (while probably being the best on the field) isn't miles ahead, like Schumacher's ferraris were, and also, no team orders at red bull.
He's pulled so far ahead of the rest (apart from button, who has finally become the driver he was supposed to be after his williams debut) simply on his ability alone.
Still, he has speed, but he still can't handle overtaking, as long as at least one person is trying to challenge him for the championship and in the races for the win, he can be beaten.

...I think I can understand how the brackets work. It sounds pretty interesting, I might give this a bash. =)

But, wait, can't a puma tank fit in any chassis height size, but it just stick out of the top quite a bit?

Good choice not releasing it to the public.  Neat find!

The big question to me is... Is the glitch allowed in tournaments by default because technically others may discover it later?

If it is done in game and pretty much legal... Does that mean that Sage and Scrap can legally use it for tournament bots even if they are the only ones that know?

I, personally, am totally cool with that.  It is only a matter of time before someone else discovers it and lets the cat out of the bag.  Stocks collapse might follow, or maybe... just maybe... there will be more stock tourneys that simply have the "realistic rule" inserted.
I agree with this, but I think if whomever  figures it out next tells everybody, or if sage or scrap daddy do a 360 and decide to tell everybody, it'll probably just end up becoming another thing that tourney hosts will say is banned from their tourneys.

The 120 stabilizers were needed for the 4 mag, that's why i had them on there.
With the perm though i've been able to get away with the 80cms, gone back to titanium 3 and added a cf extender and NPCs.


And, here's what i'm most likely gonna use in pot luck
On The Back Of Angels:


Titanium 3, 6 ants, 3 NPC fast with hypnos

That's helped a lot thanks

I got the side skirts up to titanium, which has improved it's performance a lot, and I also upgraded the chassis armour slightly to steel 3.

I can't move the disk forward as otherwise the 4 mag collides with the chassis.
I think I can angle it down a bit further though, but would that expose the disk itself too much?

I'd downgrade to aluminium side stabilizers if I were you (or maybe even just two angled shell panels, although they might be a bit too weak)

The chassis looks quite large, is that just the angle of the screenshot?
Its about 2.5x1.75
Fair enough then, maybe it's the stripes you put on it, making it look bigger ;P
