Re: Flag holder position
This is possibly the worst-thought out rule in '08. I agree with he intent, but I am forced to wonder if the GDC considered what happens when a 40" ball falls onto the robot from 7'. Usually the top of the flag pole will be the highest point since the maximum starting size is only 60". I also wonder if they considered what happens when a flag pole at 75" drives full-speed forward under a trackball that hangs down to below the 75" mark in hybrid mode -- it's either a flung flag or a broken flagpole.
I forsee either alot of popped trackballs or alot of broken flagpoles.
