I just returned from a practice tournament. The flags that mark the scoring zone frequently presented a problem. The kids got tangled in them when placing the robots in the starting positions, bending the flag poles (at least they are flexible). The robots got caught on the flags while moving the blocks.
Is maneuvering around the flags part of the challenge? If not, would it be possible to amend the field set up to allow a blue pin in a hole, or a piece of blue painter’s tape, on the edge pieces as markers for the scoring area?
