Please get it securely attached.

In the immortal words of Dave Lavery: "You can be legal and be graciously professional, but still be dumb." Secure your pole and don't give them a reason to ban them on safety grounds.

Ya the idea was that since we couldn't hold on to it during autonomous we would run and grab it and hold it during teleop. However, both your points are well received and we will be looking to secure it some how for the future.
