Ed, I've sent your inquiry to a mentor for FRC 1902 who makes flags. She will have information regarding size and materials. If you don't hear from her in a day or two, let me know.

One of our parents made a smaller sized flag for the team 2 years ago. It works very well and can be seen easily from the stands. Our FIRST emcees are masters at using the flags and other things like hats, vests, capes to introduce the teams. One thing that I've noticed is that the emcees have to do this all day long and the larger flags are heavier and more cumbersome. The smaller flags do the same thing and seem much easier to handle and store.
Also, during the parade at the beginning of the Championship, it is always exciting to see the teams' flags, mascots, and other innovative ways they've created to brand themselves. One that stands out for me is the Chinese dragon. I love that thing!
