Re: Laser for sighting?

R08, blue box:

Quote:
Examples of items that would violate R08:

A. Shields, curtains, or any other devices or materials designed or used to obstruct or limit the vision of any drivers and/or coaches and/or interfere with their ability to safely control their ROBOT

D. Exposed lasers other than Class I.
Also, G07, blue box:

Quote:
A. Use of alignment devices such as templates, tape measures, laser pointers, etc. to precisely place and/or align the ROBOT.
Depending on how you intend to use the laser, R08 part A could prohibit that because it could blind the drivers.

And G07 states that if you cause a delay by trying to use the laser to align the robot, you will be penalized.
