basically am thinking the IRL equivalent of stock. something that is more like the old 2005 stock builds, because let's face it, these are dope and look cooler than giant HS messes of razors. also easier to build, less hassle in stacking, and will probably make people more willing to build in stock.
despite being "the IRL equivalent of stock" it'll be more like DSL standard than IRL.
ideas:
basic ruleset :
-DSL standard rules (no blatantly unrealistic designs, no stacking any power/motors/electronic components, no overlapping, etc, etc, you know what this is)
other possible ideas:
-maybe: require extender support for spinners as in DSL IRL & no overly frail designs
-no ban on weapon spam
-MAYBE ban some bot types, not sure if we should
so it's basically like IRL DSL but with no issues about people claiming it is tryhard or not IRL or whatever.
examples : http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/bbeans/entries1.jpg (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/bbeans/entries1.jpg) pretty much everything in here is stock IRL except for the HS
other ideas ? thoughts ?

I haven't seen something like this in a long time. I guess if anyone is willing to host a tournament with these rules, then maybe we can see why this doesn't work, or why it's been ignored all these years.
It's not a bad idea, it's worth experimenting.
-
it's not so much about tournaments... although it'll be cool to have tournaments eventually. It's more about another form of stock.
also i want to see if people build those.
edit: also with the HS nerf any tournament in this ruleset will be won by a wedge. so maybe we need to fix that.

I made a bot for some IRL Stock thing a few years back. Can't remember what it was though.

That's from RW Series 8, isn't it?

Ahah! That was it!

Banning blue snapper is unnecessary if you take out the stacking aspect of things. Then it just becomes a wedge mounting point.

True. Im gonna remove that.
