Our main concern was in losing the lap counter. We also talked about it being a possible penalty if it was to happen every match especially if they were to be broken from being run over by us or other robots during the matches.

If you look at our video the flag holder was in the out position as the programmers hadn't installed the code to cycle it prior to the launching of the balls.
