If someone is doing this he should ban this "perm on top of the chassis" bots. the spinning weapon always cuts the extender and i dont see how that is realistic
It's the same principle as a ring spinner. With a ring spinner in RA2, the disc has to at least cut through the wheels to make it work, but you would see a ring spinner IRL, just as you would see a motor-on-top spinner IRL. It's only made unrealistic through the game mechanics.

Spinners always have very small wheels inside of the chassis itself. So if you make an IRL spinner it would be something like a cube with a dual perm in the missle & 2 tiny wheels next to it on tiny motors.
You cant afford having NPCs & Hypno wheels on a spinner, Thats a sacrifice youll have to make. You also cant spam 1028273817924618 razors like DSL shell spinners. 1 Beater bar per sheet/2 sheets & Thats it.


Im actually thinking of making a bot like that.

I made one with no extender cutting at all though...
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

I could contribute a few bots. Hadron, Defenestrator and Razer Sharp Techno Bunny come to mind immediately. Could build more I guess. xD

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Why don't we just have a thread/download section for IRL bots? Instead of a whole patch, why not just have some space set aside for people who want to build realistic bots, so they can be downloaded and used as people want.


Just set rules about what you can't do rather than what you can do, which would be quicker, for example no stacking, no spinner bots or flail bots or whatever they're called. And maybe a few rules about weapons, so weapons can't have about a million spikes on one wheel or something. Any thoughts?


Maybe just this rule would work: After a bot is built ask: Would you see it on Robot Wars? If yes: its good, if no, its bad. Simples.

Nah, build DSL realistic, i doubt you would like all the restrictions on IRL.
