Very nice stacking on the FS/HS. Looks seriously impressive. =]

Look at the grid. That gives you help on aligning them properly. Your motors still aren't aligned properly on both sides, that's why it's veering off to one side.

I like the idea of this bot. It could do pretty well, if the wedges are good enough.

You need to use the Snapper Loading glitch for it to work.

R0B0 brings up an excellent point. Sage and Scrap already said there are limitations with this glitch, and it'll still require some degree of skill to actually apply it to an effective design.

I think the Stock rules are fine so far, we just need to take a look at Stacking. 'Cause that's really all that Superstacking affects. I think if we suggest that you can't stack different components together, except for the Control Board, Axle Mounts and Baseplate Anchors, which can be stacked either together or into batteries, then that'd be a pretty good place to start.
My rules would be as follows:
Anything from the Motors tab can't be stacked, with the exception of 2 SnapperII's pointing in the same direction, or 2 Low Power Servos. It's easy to stack SIIs in different directions or 3-4 in the same direction... even more so with servos. Bad rule.
No more than 3 of the same type of Batteries can be stacked in the same spot. Pinks?
Baseplate Anchors, Axle Mounts, and the Control Board can be stacked into themselves, each other, or batteries. You've never stacked a CB into an HPZ? or a baseplate anchor and SII?
Any other forms of stacking is prohibited.
That's the way I'd go about it, personally. Judging by the stacks I've seen so far without the hax mode.
4 Stacked Pinks vs. a Nifty is a bit of an obvious choice, I'd say, so we can disregard that, but I have never been able to perform any of the other stacks. And this brings me back to my point in the other thread about members' different stacking abilities making this even more difficult to judge, because there will be members who will say "I can't do that, therefore you must be cheating", but the rules about what is and isn't allowed with the Superstacking glitch are gonna have to be very specific if it's going to work. If there's the slightest bit of ambiguity about it, then this debate will just spring up again about what's allowed and what isn't.

Me too. How'd she do that shading blur, though?
Spray can and about three hours of patience
You need to get yourself Paint.NET. =D

But then some members can stack easier than others. For instance, there are members who can stack a CB into 2 blacks, whereas I can't even stack it into one. I have gotten 3 Niftys together once, 2 SnapperII's together, 2 Lo Power Servos together, and 4 Pinks partly into 2 BA's. But if one member's stacking ability isn't equal to another member's stacking ability, then that puts them at a disadvantage.
I think, in terms of regulation, tournament hosts will have to lay down rules about which stacks are deemed legal and which stacks aren't. If we do put together the list, and someone discovers a new stack without using Superstacking, then we'd have to have multiple-party confirmation before we can deem it legal. Otherwise we'd get a bunch of complaints about it being hax mode.

Presenting a dilemma. Two versions of the same robot, both are 398.8kg, with DSA, 1 Black, a SnapperII and RAD Drive.  On the left, there are 12 razors, 2 plows and 4 casters on the underside. Plows/arms get taken off a bit too quickly for my liking. On the right, there are 8 irons and 4 plows in total. Sometimes gets outweaponed a bit too quickly. I've tested both of them, and the Iron VS seems to do better with lifting opponents up, and against HS, but the Razor VS does better against popups. The question is, which to enter into RoboLeague? =

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.

I think their main concern is that it would cause the death of Stock Building by allowing stuff like this. One way around this would be to treat it like the Realistic Rule in DSL. You CAN build undealistic designs in DSL, stuff like Stacking and eFFe glitching, but it's banned in tournaments and competitive building and things. In the same sense, you COULD build using superstacking in Stock, but it would probably be banned in tournaments. Because most people work on legal tournament building concepts, I don't think they'd focus on the superstacking glitch too much, given that they wouldn't actually be able to utilise it very much. I think it's up to Scrap and Sage, though, it's really their call on whether to disclose their secrets or not.

That, and then there was that Schweinhund Schumacher ramming Damon in Monaco...

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.

pirate download Tool's Lateralus. Bonus points if you use magnets to acquire it.
Already done this. And Aenema. And 10,000 Days.

I don't know. The nozzle bit might do, but I think that's the limit if you can't see the nozzle out of the top.

I think it should be. But that won't really stop people from experimenting with it. It'd just be classed in the same way as unrealism in DSL, would it now?
