==Flail Shell Spinner==

Flail Shell Spinner are like regular Shell Spinners except their weapons are attached to axle mounts. This allows the weapons to scrape against the opponent instead of smacking them. This allows for greater faster damage, but leaves the bot more vulnerable to fast wedged bots, which they can't push away as easy as fixed weapon Shell Spinners. This also allows for the Shell Spinners to maintain its spinning momentum due to the impact being absorbed by the weapon and axle. Aside from the normal Shell Spinner weaknesses, Flail versions are generally very hard to drive straight, thus they have very poor vulnerability, and the moment that shell falls off, it becomes a havok mine.

Aside from the normal Shell Spinner weaknesses, Flail versions are generally very hard to drive straight. Also a havok mine, flail shell spinners do a minor havok (generally just pushing away the other bot) each time an axle is ripped off and when the entire shell comes out, the robot flies.  

Two of the most famous Flail Shell Spinners are [[Iron Spaghetti]] and [[Steel Meetball]], both built by [[Scrap Daddy]].
