True, DSL is a total conversion. But those parts sure didn't come with the original game.

Oh well.

Custom components can be fun for private making of your own bots but most will not respect or allow in online or tournament play. It is because it is so easy to abuse.

We created DSL as a way to have tested and reviewed new components (many based on real life) added to the game. A controlled way of enhancing the game. We recognized there needed to be a way to have us all work with the same new components and have some semblance of balance when fighting the Real Life Replicas or creating closer to Real Life Robotics.

Fan made components can be a ton of fun for making an all-powerful robot that can win most any battle. But when that wears off and you want stiff AI and Human competition stick to Stock (is why I did the Starcore packs) or DSL or similar group designed and commonly accepted options.

I wonder why somone hasn't tried Custom parts that arn't "Real life" but balanced enough to be in an AI pack?
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.
