Flag, Flag Holder vs Trackballs

[Swampdude]

I don't like to be a complainer, especially after they put all that energy into coming up with all those rules and what not. But that flag thing is dangerous and proved not to work last year. Those things were flying like arrows all over the place last year. But now that the holder is so much taller, and the bots will be going faster, those things will get sprung out of the pipes with much more energy. If they're bent on keeping those things, then they should be retained in the holder with some kind of O-Ring. But without a mechanical lock on it, I don't think that will even help. Those giant 40" balls will be whipping everywhere, and these flag poles are huge. Safety glasses if ever are a really big deal. We saw those flags spear into people all the time.
