Building goals

Styles of building are somehow like schools of thought in RA2 building, or more precisely what your building aims at. There are a few different styles that builders adhere to, or not.

These are not strict categories, although most often a builder

DSL Standard

This style is mostly preoccupied by building efficiency. It seeks to use the best setups of the best components to build something interesting or good. It often frowns upon the use of useless components.

Their goals are not as defined as others.

IRL

IRL building is characterized by building bots that could be made and could work in real life, and look like real life bots. Often they are poor battlers compared to most other bots because of lack of wedges or good weapons.

Artbot

Simply building bots because they look aesthetically pleasing or are generally "cool" in any shape, way of form. Utterly crazy designs go in there as well.

Exploratory

This styles seeks innovation, never-before-seen builds. an exploratory builder seeks for new designs, creates new bot types, and is generally highly respected.

No style

When a builder starts building in ra2, most often they have no well-defined style, and they just... build stuff. They will most often develop into another style via contact with other builders or natural growth.
