Is it safe to assume that a hanging robot with a detached flag will still count as hanging? There is no official flag stand, yet they are not fasteners nor rubber bands. Thanks!

A robot will not be considered hanging if it has unintentionally detached any of the following items: structural metal, electronic components (including the microcontroller, batteries, motors, PWM cables, etc.), wheels or tank treads. Unintentionally detaching other items such as fasteners or rubber bands will not affect the determination of hanging.

Yes, a robot will still be considered hanging if their flag falls off.
