A Flail Weapon is just as it sounds, a weapon attached to a freely rotating component. They have proven to be very destrcuctive, especially in DSL. Some common examples of bots with flail weapons are [[Grog, the Vengeful]], [[Iron Spahgetti]], and [[Steel Meatball]]. As you can see, [[Flail Shell Spinner]] are a common use of flails in DSL. Flail weapons tend to scrape the opponent instead of outright smashing them, and can do rapid amounts of damage. Some disadvantages of flails are their tendancy to havok when ripped off, and in DSL, flails on HS tend to turn the robot, forcing you to constantly fight the motor torque to drive properly.

In DSL, flail weapons are much more common. This is probably due to the DSL axle mounts, which are easier to attach and allow you to control the maximum number of degrees the axle can turn. Quite a few designs use flails, such as Flail Shell Spinners, [[Flail Hammers]] and various HS, VS, and SnS. Weapons with high damage potential such as [[razor tips]] are ideal for flails.
