Building styles 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.
Efficient-Balanced
This style is known for it's various goals when you build a bot(creativity, diversity, cool looks, combat efficiency - not always all of them), but the style still keeps efficient building (not necessarily in combat) as a main goal. Most bots are at least well built, and most use the better components.

Candy
This style is known to be generally made to be aesthetically pleasing or just creative, often at the cost of combat efficiency. For now, there has been no accusations of effeminacy towards the main followers of the style.

Supreme Efficiency
This style is known to care about only combat effectiveness, and efficiency as well. Most bots built like that are intensively tested and rebuilt, and are generally nightmares to face in the arena.
This style is the one everyone wants to master, but very few truly get to it. You need a particular dedication towards the game as well as a highly original and analytical mind to really deserve this.

Exploration
This style is somehow random, and mostly followed by newcomers (but not only). The goal here is "what is this going to do ?" rather than "how can I make this bot do ?" Most bots of these are random ideas and not really good, but some can be very good new ideas, as well cornerstones for a new bot type
Followers: Most unexperienced Normies, people than want to learn more about the game.
IRL
IRL building is characterized by building bots that could be made in real life. Often they are inferior to RA2 bots because of lack of wedges or good weapons, but they are mostly built for looks.
