Tower Flag drops when weekend

[cpapplefamily]

Where are the flags. Did I miss this discussion?

[CalTran]

KC was having trouble getting them to actually work, so might have been the same wherever you were wondering about.

To be honest, I don't remember seeing flags fall in person at Mt. Olive last weekend or at any of the webcasts I've watched. I also don't remember the opponent's flag being raised at Mt. Olive either. Or any flags at all.

[Alex Cormier]

So they drop on Saturday's or Friday at 5pm? When does the weekend start?

[Sperkowsky]

I saw the flag assemblies at NYC sitting by the field. We also do not have standard holders or a completed batter... Hope it will be all ok by tomorrow.

Oh, so THAT's what those things in the box with the Low Bar material were!

Now if only they'd send the rest of the standard holders...

[The Ginger]

at the Duluth double DECCer there were no flags at all.

This gave me a chuckle. I'm glad I'm not the only person who noticed it.

FIM Lakeview has the flags last I checked.

The shipment of the flag assemblies never arrived at MAR.

We had them installed at Kettering #2, but I didn't see if they worked or not. If I recall correctly, we had 2 matches where the CASTLE was CAPTURED. The FTA said they were a little touchy, it works with a small servo and a spring so the spring tension has to be just right. And I don't know the timing of them, since the refs have to wait after the match to see if a ROBOT rolls off the BATTER after the final buzzer.

Do you know if there were any plans to swap one from the red side to the blue alliance captain driver station?

[Sperkowsky]

Update NYC has the flag assemblies along with the rest of the batter. Still no standard holders from what I see but that's nbd

No idea, not even sure if it's possible.

Arkansas has them installed, but they don't seem to actually move.
