or NC's stacking tool

(which is legit)

True! But make's things much easier, and more difficult stacks possible.

Very nice bot NFX, how long did it take you to stack the 3 nifties and controlboard?

NFX · « **Reply #503 on:** December 09, 2011, 04:44:12 AM »

Somewhere between 10 minutes and quarter of an hour, I think. And I don't want to use a Nifty/Blackvolt stack, because the chassis will need to be both taller and wider, and that'll eat up more weight.

I call either hax mode or NC's stacking tool

I must have been away for too long, what are these 2? I only know of BFE and AAM.

Hax Mode was discovered by Scrap Daddy and R0B0SH4RK, with some help from Sage. It basically removes the collision meshes from the components, so you can theoretically stack anything into anything, but in reality there are still certain limitations of it. You can't stack stuff through the left side of the chassis, for example.

NC's (nightcracker's) Stacking Tool is a program/macro (I don't know the correct terminology) that uses AutoHotKey to move the cursor by a single pixel when you press a combination of keys, allowing for much more precise positioning of components on the baseplate. It was actually the first thing he did when he got here. =D

Actually, Hax Mode was initially discovered by Scrap Daddy and Sage. I figured out what they did and wrote the guide with them.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #507 on:** December 15, 2011, 05:05:02 PM »

Actually I showed Sage after I figured it out :P

NFX · « **Reply #508 on:** December 15, 2011, 05:07:46 PM »

I thought R0B0 discovered it separately, asked Scrap "Is this how you did it?", Scrap replied "yea boi" or something of that nature, and the trio compiled Hax Mode For Dummies over a round of golf.

And I improved on it... developing techniques on how to stack motors and such. And then someone found the pause button and broke the game.

That would be Urjak

That would be me! It actually is a combination of AutoHotkey with a C script because I had more control with moving the mouse through C. I thought before I was going to make it C-only and remove AutoHotkey, but I think it works fine as is.

Holy crap, I built something in Stock. But not really. I built this a while ago and sort of forgot about it. I wish I'd remembered it for BroBots, though, would have had a much better chance than Xenophobia.

249.0, DSA. Took an absolute age to get the plow on.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #513 on:** March 09, 2012, 08:14:24 AM »

Pretty sure that plow placement is impossible unless the Snapper is pixel out of the chassis.

Pwnator · « **Reply #514 on:** March 09, 2012, 08:22:31 AM »

I think an exostack with the Snapper II is possible.

That looks really really good. I highly doubt I could recreate that.

Hercules · « **Reply #516 on:** March 09, 2012, 02:43:22 PM »

Perfect component placement is perfect

NFX · « **Reply #517 on:** March 10, 2012, 06:12:27 AM »

A different version of the bot posted yesterday. Not sure if it's better or worse. But it is invertible. Still 249.0, still DSA.

Also one of my "I Wonder If This Will Work" designs.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. 798.9, DSA, 2 Blacks. Pretty good build, I reckon, but the wamming rack is too far back, and my wedges are back to their usual not-good-enough-ness. Lonely central caster because I had weight left over. Bonus stack I found while building it.

Dat LW... O.O

Badnik96 · « **Reply #519 on:** March 10, 2012, 11:38:08 AM »

LW's cool, but razors are better on RADs due to their frequency. I'd use the extra 18 KG to put on a ramming rack of some sort.
