Re: The flag

I believe the height requirement comes from the fact that there's a scoring aid attached to the flag itself and detected when you pass under the Overpass. Keeping the scoring aids at a known height means they'll be reliably detected and you'll get credit for completing a lap. Don't forget that you've got to run a PWM cable up to the flag holder to provide power for this device.
