1. It must be at least slightly combat effective if it was to be used IRL. So no rammers with axe spam, or popups or flails etc.sometimes flails can be irl
sometimes flails can be irl
yea we cant have 36 flails with razors on them and that stuffsometimes flails can be irl
But there aren't ridiculous amounts of them, like DSL robots. Hmm... Shall we cap flails at 8 flails per bot, with 4 for MW and LW?
I say if metal hinges aren't placed on the very bottom of the robot and look like they aren't detracting from the spirit or look of the bot, then they can be used. If metal hinges are used just because they are metal hinges, then no.I say if they are used in realistic way, or for side protection, rather than round the front.
motors must either be inside the chassis or have sufficient supportsFlails like The Mauler are IRL. Flails like Iron Spaghetti, Minifridge, are not IRL. Flails cannot be used in the same plane that the weapons are spinning in.1. It must be at least slightly combat effective if it was to be used IRL.

Sheck Spinners, can they truly be IRL or not?1 axle mount with a flail point on it should be enough.
I say that they can be with the components we have now, but much less effective than the realistic counterparts. And by realistic counterparts, I mean Grog, The Resurrection and other infamous RA2 DSL shell spinners. Hammers spinning around in such a position isn't IRL in my opinion.
Also, about flails, to achieve an IRL-like chain-y feel, we'd have to chain together like 5 180 degree axles, all rotated in different ways. Because of this, I'd personally say flails can't be IRL, because extender work like this is prime rib for Havoks... And then there is the Rule of 7...
i'd say that aslong as you don't see most/all of the metal hinge, it's fine.It doesn't function realistically though.
yes it does, put a low to the ground axle on a bot and it's pretty much the same. the only thing that bothers me is when it sticks out of the chassis unrealisticallyi'd say that aslong as you don't see most/all of the metal hinge, it's fine.It doesn't function realistically though.
That's a skirt hinge, or an axle mount you're thinking of. A Metal Hinge physically forces the wedge into the ground. If this mechanic was applied in real life, the bot wouldn't be able to move forward. It would simply get stuck in the floor. Metal Hinge, or "sprung" wedges, are exclusively used as side protection, as the bot doesn't move sideways normally. Panic Attack is a very good example of how Metal Hinges are used IRL.yes it does, put a low to the ground axle on a bot and it's pretty much the same. the only thing that bothers me is when it sticks out of the chassis unrealisticallyi'd say that aslong as you don't see most/all of the metal hinge, it's fine.It doesn't function realistically though.
Find me a bot with that sort of wedge that can consistently get under bots with a chassis wedge flush with the ground IRL.yes it does, put a low to the ground axle on a bot and it's pretty much the same. the only thing that bothers me is when it sticks out of the chassis unrealisticallyi'd say that aslong as you don't see most/all of the metal hinge, it's fine.It doesn't function realistically though.
1. It's effectivenss in-game must not be much greater than what it's effectiveness would be IRL.Problem solved.
