Flag holder

[Al Skierkiewicz]

<R17> ROBOTS must use one of the two FLAGS provided at the event
queuing location to display their ALLIANCE color (red or blue). The
FLAG shall be held in a flag holder mounted on the ROBOT. The
only acceptable flag holder is a 12 inch long piece of 1/2” (nominal)
Schedule 40 PVC tube. The tube must be a single, contiguous
piece, capped with a commercial PVC pipe cap cemented at the
bottom end.

Please note that the flag holder must be 12" long, Schedule 40 with a pipe cap whose top end is 51" above the floor +/- 1". Mounting holes are acceptable but are under the scrutiny of the Robot Inspector. Further, the flagholder must allow for a two inch radius of at least 180 degrees for the lap indicator to be visible from above. The lap indicator does move a bit during robot operation. The rule this year is specific and does not provide for deviation in design.
