you're right jokebots are made for fun nemisis and diotoir are literally flammable
the bots can look so similar as to almost bore me

IRL in a nutshell.

i both love and hate you marty
while many irl bots look the same
so do many dsl-s bots

joke bots are great
artbots can be dumb
without the razer or chaos 2 though would it have been as enjoyable?
and no
looks are more important than fighting ability
but an effective good looking bot is great
take for example razer
looks great works great
i think irl is about making a good looking effective bot
which is why i dont like dsl-s as much
the bots can look so similar as to almost bore me
i like bots that look like they could exist
thats all i dont like about irl
bots that are made to lookcool but dont look like they could be built irl

But you said you don't like artbots at all, when you clearly like IRL? I am too confused for this.

i have a problem with irl tournaments just revolving around make your robot look cool
while that is important an attempt to win is good

IRL really isn't competitive. It's all about making your bot look cool and having some fun.

yes but they have tournaments for a reason
irl doesnt have to be bad is all i am saying
it is obviously about the fun
i personally like fun effective bots
inovative bots are fun thats why i made snugglebot evolution
it looks cool and wins
i think irl should have a bit more of a competetive aspect
theres not much i agreee with naryar on in irl but that is one thing
teams in real life dont build too look cool they build to win
or jokebots breaking those rules
i like irl the way it is but there are some bots that make it through that make you go
could that be built in real life?
thats my only complaint really
didnt mean to offend anyone

artbots are fine
i have a problem with irl tournaments just revolving around make your robot look cool
while that is important an attempt to win is good
also making a bot which doesnt look like it could be designed in real life and then showing a photo of an actual robot to justify it
especially when it isnt even similar

So you're freely admitting to entering IRL tournaments, where the main goal is to make bots that look true to real life, with the intention of making them as efficient as possible to win? :P Because I think a good IRL bot is an artbot.

no
irl bots are artbots but artbots are not always irl

i dont like artbots though because they can be designed under the rule of cool
meaning some artbots dont look realistic

Lolwat, you don't like artbots because they look cool?
Besides if an artbot isn't 'realistic' it shouldn't be allowed into 'realistic' tournaments, and is a showcase only type deal.

no i dont like artbots in tournaments is all
some artbots couldnt be built in real life so they shouldnt be allowed in irl tournaments

we will offer chuck e cheese one dollar for the source code
(Nolan Bushnell founded chuck e cheese so they must have it...)

Nonono, Nolan Bushnell founded Showbiz Pizza Inc which was then bought out by someone else and became Chuck E Cheese's. 

Unfortunately Bushnell has no stake in either company anymore and hasn't for a very long time.

obviously the code was part of showbiz pizza and now chucky has it
we
have

chucky cheese

i like complete control more but
i think SoS was a more effective design for damage though
pressure drop was an awesome walker though
that man has talent
