They're just quite rare nowadays, because there's some vaguely similar designs entered. Dominator of Dragons was a Stock Tourney. =]

I like DSL because there's not much more to do with stock. DSL gives more opportunities for creativity.

DSL- mainly because building a decent bot doesn't take forever. And I have little patience.

I like Stock because of the ridiculous ideas you can come up with. Like my recent hybrid Stock bots. =D You can go much more overkill with robots in Stock than DSL.

DSL
-More components and space for individuality.
-More realism - Stuff going through stuff annoys me.
-Not one or 2 dominant species - It's all efficient HS or popups in stock, and that's all (it seems) that wins anything.
-Possibility for very IRL style bots (eg Thyrus bots) or artbots which I really like.

I like both, but I prefer DSL because of greater customization and that it's meant to stay true to realistic bot building, for the most part at least.

Maybe DSL is more popular in later time zones. =] Would be an interesting demographic.

I used to prefer DSL because there were no utterly dominant designs; you could experiment and make unique bots that were still good.  Now in the age of popups and razor flails, I think I prefer stock.


So now rather than try and build in DSL2, I'm putting that time into working on DSL3 and making it better.

I chose DSL because it is easier to make replicas and IRL realistic bot etc.


Actually I like both of them because all I do in them is make realistic bots.
