Flag Holders On Robot

[11Mort11]

In the rules it says to have a flag holder for your red or blue flag. If you are issued a yellow card do you need a seperate flag holder for the yellow flag or can you use the same flag holder?

[Kendal Reed]

If you play well, you won't have to find out, will you?

Sorry, but I honestly don't know.

True, but if we do we dont want to get disqualified for not having another tube for the yellow flag.

from the kickoff video it looked like they put the second flag in the same holder

The yellow flag will be put in the same holder as the red/blue flag.

From how i thought that i understood it, i believe that both of the flags would go inside of the same holder, because that is how they show it in the kickoff video and i didn't see anything in the rules about a second flag holder in the book.... but it is possible that i had missed it. Hope this helped!

They should fit in the same tubing, it's 1/2" wide, I can't imagine a flag that big

Thanks

Worth noting: the Winter War Zone scrimmage yesterday proved that flags do an excellent job of holding tubes. It's like a ring toss, where if you get a tube around the post it stays stuck on your robot for the rest of the match.

Actually, if they are using the same flags as last year, the poles are 1/4" in diameter. This means that two flags in the same tube is a net fit and will need to be jammed in. We put one flag in our holder (leftover from BattleCry 7), and there's no way another flag of the same size will just slide in.
