Re: Flag height questionable

The most recent update to the Inspection Checklist:

"Bicycle Flag: Must have an appropriate holder with correct installed height - 75” +/- 1”. The flag needs to remain approximately vertical."

This must be held when in your playing configuration. Not necessarily your starting configuration.

Ziaholic, I have not done the math, however, depending on where your Mast rotates, the top of flag will probably not be within 74"-76", let alone approximately vertical, when you tilt to 20 degreees. I would suggest finding an alternate location for your flag holder. There are several other posts/threads that talk about teams having difficulties placing their flag holder on the robot. You are not alone. We had to build a stand off in order to keep the flag from getting in the way of the trackball.
