Like Kristian said, it was just an LED mag light that you can buy at Home Depot. If you focus it down all the way it makes a dot about a foot across that you can see from the driver's station (Yay for smoked Lexan backboards).
Left and right alignment was obvious. The cool part was that the light was mounted at a fixed angle and aimed at the top goal. If the dot was too high, you drove forward; if the dot was too low, you drove back. Our shooter wheels only ran at one speed all year long!
