DSL 2.3 is the version of the game.
IRL and DSL-S are the meta.
By the way for the bots design I would have to say that thing is DSL-S

BW, lol. 3 mm. Steel.

Is it IRL or DSL-S?

Don't know the difference between the two. It's DSL 2.3, so whatever one that is.
DSL 2.2 is mainly irl, but there are still DSL-s bots. If you aimed for irl, weapon motor sticking out is not irl
You better learn to IRL here:

Is DSL 2.2 IRL?
People have explained it poorly.

DSL, Stock and Ironforge are versions of the game. They have different components and different installs.

IRL, Standard and Unrealistic are building styles. You can technically build each of them in any version of the game, though different versions tend to be associated with different build styles (these days DSL tends to be associated with IRL, Ironforge with Standard, and Stock with Unrealistic.) What style (or "meta" as everyone calls them) you build is purely a matter of choice. Most of your stock bots for example have fallen into the "unrealistic" meta without you even knowing it exists. It's down to you what style you choose to build in.

The guide I wrote that kix linked earlier gives an outline of what the IRL build style pertains to. Unfortunately there aren't really any comprehensive up-to-date guides for Standard or Unrealistic at the moment, but you seem to have a decent grasp of those two styles already.

Oh, thank you.

Real Robotics must be IRL because it utilizes bots with no collision meshes.
...So every time I hear IRL, think "Real life bots," and when I hear "unrealistic," think "fictional bots."

Why dont you actually post the pic of a bot instead of announcing it like that?

Sorry if I seem harsh, but your reason is that you don’t have the common sense to realize that you can edit a post.

Yes, but piglets are good for bots that don't require mass amounts of force to move.
EXCEPTION- Wandering Spinners work best with piglets for drive because they make it easier for the WS to bounce off walls.

Just use a flat motor for the disc and slimbody motors for drive, they are better for their weight

Piglets are weapon motors. Weapon motors are really awful for drive as they dont have much torque

Movement works when you put a wheel directly on the axle of a motor. Movement in the game isn't completely realistic: it's more like the game pushes you in a direction like a rocket when the motors try to spin wheels that touch the ground. The only determining factors in how hard this push is are the motor's "gain" and the wheel's grip. Piglets have a gain of 10, astroflights have a gain of 12 (you can see this by reading the txts). They almost look identical to each other to the game, except astroflights are slightly stronger and lighter.

Your weapon motor is underpowered, you have too many batteries, and you're using AW-level weapon motors for your drive.
