A clue! A clue!
Next year we're playing lawn darts.
I have to say, I liked the flags. As bad as they are, it really does make it much easier to identify robot teams. It also made it clear which teams had penalties, in an easy manner.
In '06, we had lexan sides that Velcro-ed on our robot, and they would always come off during the match (pretty much a major annoyance). I'm not in favor of anything of the sort.
What if bumpers had some sort of clear cover, and had an insert, like something you'd find in a wallet, or like a CD/DVD case? If the covers/holders were provided in the KOP, or had certain standards, they would be like flags, except flush on the robot. It would be lightweight, pretty low tech, won't interfere with gameplay, and minimalistic.
idk just a suggestion (since i pretty much shot another one down)
