Pete is certainly right -- you don't want to lose a flag this year!
Also, pay close attention to <R17>. The top of the flag holder must be 51 inches above the floor. The rule doesn't specify how much your flag holder height can deviate from this value, but it might not take much deviation for the lap counter to miss your robot going by.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
