The rules say that you just need to have a PWM connector to the Robot Controller within 4" of the Flag Holder that you also need on the robot. See <R18> for the rules. Also see <R17> for Flag Holder rules.

So do they mount the lap counter to the flag holder? (Sorry im still confused)

The Lap Indicator will be attached to the stopper of the flag inserted into the flag holder see rules <R17> and <R18> for more info and diagrams.
