Flag, Flag Holder vs Trackballs

[dtengineering]

It would have been interesting if they had ditched the flag holder and simply required teams to show up with two different sets of bumpers... one red, one blue.

That would have done a better job of indicating alliances, encouraged fast-change bumper design (even more so than already encouraged) and allowed more space for handling this gianormous ball.

Mind you, at least we're all working to the same parameters... and the different coloured bumpers wouldn't make provisions for the lane counter, which will matter, I think.
