Title: What is the difference between "IRL" and "Standard" robot, etc?
Post by: Hero Of War on August 06, 2015, 11:27:26 PM: Hi guys, just wondering if you could inform this newbie what an IRL robot is (I know it stands for 'in real life'), and how it differs from a "standard" robot, or other categories of robot building? I want to make an IRL robot in ironforge but I have no idea how to start until I know exactly what it entails.

Standard are bots made to be as efficient as possible

Post by: Hero Of War on August 07, 2015, 12:17:13 AM: I was hoping for more in depth information to be honest... like, are there certain rules for IRL building to restrict things that are common to standard bots, etc.

in summary; DSL-S= The airiyan race of robots led by ~~the tornado team~~ mecha hitler
IRL= my robot cant fight for shiz but damn is it cool lookin
Unrealistic= laws of physics? WHAT ARE THOSE?!
Hope that you found this helpful =)
p.s. sorry i made a tornado joke, WEDGEBOTS ARE THE TRUE STATIC WEAPON USERS!!

1) Unrealistic (Most popular in: Stock)
BFE (Bot File Editing) can be outlawed here, but if used for something like stacking can be overlooked.
