From dlavery "I really hate to burst anyone's bubble. But before anyone puts a lot of effort into coming up with snazzy alternatives to the flags, we need to admit something right up front: it ain't gonna happen. Why? It is due to a simple, basic fact that everyone has skipped over so far: $$$"

Take a look at post #22, two holes = free, 1" of surgical tubing = free. I do not think we need an alternative to flags and they can be held in place in the current flag holder for a little effort. I do agree, most of the alternatives could be very expensive. If FIRST or sponcer donated items could come close to the cost numbers you propose, I would rather see something new to play with than something as mundain as a flag replacement.
