If someone every tries to penalize me for ignoring a flag I'll tell them that I don't want to assume the flags color. Maybe the yellow flag identifies as a green flag?

I'll add that the principal of Flagtronics is one of the smartest guys around, too.

I can see this as a VERY useful tool at the Chump/Champ 24 hr race and any race in the dark. It's nearly impossible to see a flag station at night especially in the rain.

I've seen the full demo of the Flagger system at VIR and was very impressed.
