It doesn't make it un-level really, it just allows unusual chassis designs.

I can back him up, but it took a long time to get it right.

I quote from the Beetlebros website:
"All tournaments using the DSL mod are run with the realistic rule. This rule does not apply to stock tournaments unless otherwise specified. The realistic rule states, in general terms, that your bot must be built realistically (able to work in real life). More specifically,
No component can intersect another component that could not have a slot cut in it in real life.
This is easier to understand with an example. Suppose your bot has a spinning blade. A stationary armor plate can have a slot cut in it in real life, so it is allowable for the blade to pass through such an armor plate. However, you can't cut a slot in a wheel, since wheels spin. So if the blade passed through the bot's wheels, the bot wouldn't be allowed. Batteries and motors also can't have slots cut in them, so intersecting these components is also not allowed. Finally, the blade could not completely bisect (cut in two) the bot, since if you cut a slot all the way through in real life, it would just fall apart.
No stacking of batteries or air tanks is allowed.
This is a corollary of point 1, but is somewhat less intuitive.
No chaining of motors is allowed.
Judging realism is mostly a subjective assessment and, as such, there is some tolerance associated with these rules. It is allowable if two moving components are only very slightly intersecting, and if you have a reasonable explanation for how your design could be built in real life, it might be allowed even if it violates some of the above rules."
Of course, you can do your own rules if you like.

doesn't really go hand in hand with the realistic rules.
IMO it is perfectly realistic, there is a gap wide enough for wires to be passed through in all cases.

Ahhh ok, whatever works, just throwing out ideas.
What I actually was trying to make was an undercutter that was a juggler when inverted but I ran out of weight.

In previous testing shell spinners loved ripping off the mag, as for wedges, the whole bottom of the bot is a weapon.

that reminds me to make a rule against that glitch.
Why? It's not unrealistic or anything.

It can flip Wrecktangle OOTA, if that means anything to you guys...
LW's can do that, I have proof somewhere.
