Re: Why Did We Change To Flags???

I like the flags the most. The only real probably I have with them is with this years game, because a poorly thrown ringer can ruin your match if it gets stuck on your flag.

Advantages of the flag:
Light
Easiest to see because they arnt buried in the robots
No wiring needed
Easier then the gumballs to mount
Dont break (though they do fly out a lot of the time)

I remember more complaints about the gumball light then anything back when we used it. I also understand that it was real hard to see the LED lights, they were always buried in robots and not bright enough.
