i have noticed that there are a few differing opinions on putting motors on skirt hinges, and i want a majority vote to determine the legalty of attaching weapon/drive motors on the said hinges in showcases and whatnot

also this is my first poll in my 1 1/4 years of being here
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Unrealistic because it improves the motor. It's already illegal, for me at least.

Actual DSL builders.

But yes, we should change "DSL realistic" to something like "DSL standard building".

Yeah, if it improves the motor, I'm not cool with that. As for DSL Realism/Standard DSL, I believe I switched to 'Standard DSL' in the RIP rules, to avoid 'realistic=IRL?' confusion

Putting motors on a skirt hinge for whatever reason, which speeds the motor up a little bit.

Why would you even do that, that's asking for a train ticket to AGOD central, with a possible havok buffet included.

Well, that's like saying flails increase weapon damage unrealistically.

apparently awesumsauce made a bot with a hinge bursted dual perm without major agod or havok or anything

but i don't think it should be banned because if you can get it to work without agod or havok then you should be allowed to use it, not many bots have bursted motors in dsl anyway

is this bot don't lost all razors in a fight before do a damage thought

that's 3. out of god knows how many dsl bots there are.

there are probably more but they really aren't common at all so it isn't worth banning it imo

Using burst motors (including skirt hinges) or servos (including metal hinges) to support spin motors should only be done in DSL if the design requires it, such as a clamp/VS or something similar.

A bursted Dual Perm will spin faster than a static dual perm, so in a fight (logically..) the bursted dual perm would win most times. Allowing bursted spin motors would be a step closer to just calling DSL standard stock 2.0. It's close enough as it is.

Skirt hinge bursting is the equivelant of Servo enhancing, since a skirt hinge is just a servo with no torque or something. Servo hancing is illegal, thus skirt hinge bursting should be illegal too.

Why is this even a discussion ? This is one of the greatest differences between stock building and DSL building. If we go this way we may as well start exostacking, stacking batts and then build just like in stock.

DSL unrealistic and DSL standard are two different things. Don't make them the same !

Isn't it just, "mounting a component on another component which enhances the attached components ability".
In this case, flails should be banned.
And it's impossible to find a line between servo enhanced and servo mounted.

Faulty logic. In your case, not only flails should be banned, but motors as well.

Yes. THat's why I'm saying there is no grounds for banning motors on servos/hinges.
