I've seen on TBA (when it was up) that before matches a field helper waves team-made flags before matches.

Catalyst is a rookie team, so we have a two questions (so far):

What are the average dimensions?
Would they help chances at an Imagery award?

Also, are some pictures available of some good flags from previous years?

Thanks much.

There are no dimensions, make whatever. For average, I have no idea xD. We just borrowed our schools flag and used that (GIGANTIC black flag with a huge H on it)

For now focus on building an effective robot. After you ship your robot, then you can make the flag. :yikes:

Our team just uses an Australian flag (http://www.baesystemsfirst.org/regional/event_photos_2010/saturday2/original/2010-0075-242.jpg). In general teams have flags with their logo, school name, team name, etc.

That's our flag on the right, not sure who's on the left. This is on Newton at Championships our rookie year. We still have that same flag. Also, the other side is the inverse of the side you can see (yellow logo and number on red background)
