(trying to consistently place the robot may not be viable this year, but flashlight aiming certainly should be)

I thought the retro reflective tape would only shine to the observer with the light, so wouldn't you need a camera to aim via flashlight? Or do you just mean using the flashlight for coarse "where am I vaguely pointing" tracking?
