Lol let's face it, social pressure is far more effective than secrecy for keeping people in line.

Lol of course I have the air tank. I already made 2 custom cannons and modded 3 in the past.
It doesn't work with just 2 or 3, that's for sure. I try 6 later and let you know what happens.

Post some proof of progress when starting the thread to show that you're serious or don't bother posting a thread at all. It's annoying how many noobs want to make big AI packs and tournaments and stuff like that without having any experience themselves....
Post some of this so-called "Progress" or this thread gets locked come midnight tonight.
[troll]Backlash?  [/troll] But yes I think a post should only be made after it passes the 20% mark. Alternatively you can also sticky the released mods/ai packs on top. I just think the stuff that actually is complete enough for download is more relevant than "oh hay I gonna might plan to make something I have no clue".

I necro this post since I just wrote a somewhat long introduction.

A chassis that can fit 5 ant and a large control board is 1.5sq x 1.7sq and 0.338182 height.
Good god... do you memorize that? :P
I was working on a chassis set, so I memorize quite a few battery box size.

how would apanx bot exporter detect BFE? I mean all it really c is rather or not things are properly "connected".
I just don't see how it can tell the difference between super-stacking or not.

Since chewblade has a much larger radius, you can always just increase the chassis width and put the ant next to the piglet instead. That should make sure the chewblade covers the whole chassis.

With chassis that huge you might as well put in 1 orange battery. It's actually enough to power your whole bot.
Not that I am saying that's a good idea or anything. I am just putting into perspective how huge that chassis is.

Thanks. I wonder if you can do the same with canine chew-blade. It probably won't be too good, but it will look crazy.

Listing every single stack-able thing with their quantity is petty close to impossible. The list just grows exponentially as you increase more parts/conditions.
Any potential multiple-party confirmation is going to be simpler than writing/checking that rulebook. And anyone who complain about hax mode can just as easily complain about BFE. But against we don't see BFE complains everywhere.
One reason for not having runaway effect is the showcases. People can see a steady stream of bots. Anyone who look like their stacking skill improved significantly overnight is going to raise suspicion. Getting away with big cheating is just not that easy when people can see your progress. So if I start a stock showcase now and show some 1337 stacking skills, you will guess I am using BFE even if the same bot might look legit from Pwnator or Ounce.

Why don't we just
"Ban things that LOOKS like hax mode to the average builder"
instead of
"Ban hax mode".
After all, in practice it is exactly the same with BFE and AAF, you can only ban the things that APPEARS like BFE to the average builders.
So will that "discourage new ways of stacking"? Maybe. Or it might have little to no impact at all because even before this you have to REALLY stack to look like hax.

I can't get it to work either. I can wire the ammo but they won't fire. It surely doesn't seem plug and play.

Well, it's more like I have no clue where the inside motor is.

And, why can't we outlaw it exactly? Why can't people just get together and say, hey we don't like this BS, let's not do it or allow it in tournaments.
Sure if you trying to be all technical you are not going to find all the logical rules that distinguish this from other forms of stacking. But hey nobody has been able to write an algorithm that can distinguish a cat from a dog either, that doesn't stop us from telling them apart. This is when the human intuition comes into play. Just assume something that looks improbable fake/cheating until proven otherwise.

@JoeBlo- If we use this glitch, you can tell. It's not like theres another way to stack a HPZ into a black without a burst/servo.
Now if someone manages to stack something nobody saw before they would get accused of using the glitch.
That is already true with BFE or AAF, so nothing new really.

Stacking is illegal in DSL to begin with. So what difference would that make?
Unless it also allow no collision externally, but even then nobody is going to allow this as a justification in DSL anyway.
In case someone wanted to make a for-fun DSL bot that didn't follow the realistic rule.
BFE is faster, and it can even break rule of 7 and connect at funky angles.

Cuz, like, I don't play stock?
Assuming the glitch is unique to stock...

Cuz I am more curious about the working of the game mechanics than what I can build in stocks? Cuz, like, I don't play stock? Ever?

I guess I wait until either
1. Naryar forfeits, or
2. Naryar not going to send something becomes obvious.
I reserve the right to take the ham from Naryar and eat it too.

OMG you SOOO not old enough to be 1337.
I have read and reread this line, and still can't figure out what its actual meaning is...
It's a "I sound like a n00b" joke that is not suppose to make sense.
