Re: FRC Rules, and ideas; Flashlights...
I don't have the rules in front of me so take this with a grain of salt. THere is a rule specifically about allowable power sources. You would have to power the light off of the robot's main battery through the power distribution board. As for lasers I think there is a rule about the class of laser and where it can be pointed. There are a couple of ideas for floor loading floating around on Youtube...Right after kickoff I know a number of people were talking about using impellers powered using a fisher price motor to suck the disks off the ground enough to catch them up on rollers.

I would suggest you look for a solution that has much greater tolerance. The last thing you need during a 2 minute teleop period is to have your team hunting around trying to line up perfectly on a frisbee using a wifi camera that has limited bandwidth.

This is just my opinion though...

R-34 for the battery...Can't find the one about lasers...
