I remember that flopbots were explicitly banned in 2006, but were they in 2007? Given the lack of differentiation between starting configuration and playing configuration that year with respect to bumpers, flag holders, and the like, I imagined it was mostly a case of everybody figuring it wasn't worth it rather than an outright ban.
