Laser Pointer

I was under the impression that anything higher than a Class I lase was illegal on an FRC robot. This regulation, however, seems to contradict that:
Quote:
Alignment devices such as templates, tape measures, laser pointers, etc. that are not part of the Robot and fully contained within the starting volume may not be used to assist with positioning the Robot.
Violation: Robot will be arbitrarily repositioned by a Referee prior to the start of the Match.
Is it legal to use a laser pointer on your robot?

*The document containing the regulation can be found here: http://frc-manual.usfirst.org/viewItem/56
