So essentially I could say "Stock builders can go **** themselves, it's a game, you don't need to spend 5+ hours making the tiniest chassis adjustments, stacking 3 blacks, etc" and you wouldn't hate on me for it? Is that what you're saying?
Yes Cheap Norris could be made IRL, but it wouldn't, just because it would kill itself everybody watching the battle outside the arena as soon as its drive fell off.

I agree with Maz, in that people who bought RA2 wanted to build realistic robots like the ones they saw on Battlebots/Robot Wars, not crazy glitchy stacked 38 mace HSs, hence the rise of IRL
Back on topic, I think DSL-IRL is a good starting point, and is certainly more friendly than the "stack blacks, you could save 0.2kg by ditching the chassis and spending half an hour getting everything just so again" mentality that has always kept me away from any competitive stock. The problem arises when people end up going "Nice, is it IRL or standard?" presuming that A) The new user knows what standard is and B) That they want to be drafted into one of two channels and not choose the Dominating option of "Whatever the hell I like".

Here is what I think, about the bulding styles : Stock : It may don't have the variety or the balance of the DSL, but it's still cool. But some noobs/newbies can find it too hard, cos of the stacking, snapper loading and stuff. Stock noob level on purpose (but not stock IRL, it sux) : I'm OK with it, even some times I make a noob tournaments vs a noob AI or vs friends (they are noobs). DSL normal/standard : I'm not playing it, but I do respect it. If I ever build DSL, it will be the standard DSL. I remember the days, when all the members were building the both - DSL standard and stock, and it was cool. It just turns out, that even with the tries to balance it, in the end, some components are just better, like in stock, and I understand this, but I love stock with his unbalanced components, so the liking of DSL-S is not a problem. DSL IRL : The so called DSL-easy mode. The fact > , that my bots must be judged by a GTM members are they IRL or not, or a judges have to decide did I won or not, > alienates me from the IRL DSL. This is a game, the RA2 engine don't have the phisics of the real world, so if someone want to play something VERY realistic, then a real bot building in a garage is more recomended, but it's expensive tho. DSL 3 beta, Nar AI, 123's new TC and so on : not yet released/in a beta stage, so I can't comment them. Replica building : I'm OK with it, I even made 1 replica in stock long time ago.Also, IMO, if you build stock, it makes you a better/hardcore builder overall ('cos stock is hard to build), so it makes the building easy later, when you move to the easier any DSL, but if you start with any DSL in the begining, later the stock will look very hard for you.*post made more clear, in the terms of meaning, now*
