Look up videos of team 180 in action from last year if you want to see how flashlights can be used for targeting goals and game pieces. With any luck, Bryce will show up and give us some pictures as well.

From the rules (sorry that I'm bad at formatting):
"4.1.2.1 R08
ROBOT parts shall not be made from hazardous materials, be unsafe, cause an unsafe condition, or interfere with the
operation of other ROBOTS.
Examples of items that will violate R08 include (but are not limited to):
...
D. Exposed lasers other than Class I."
Yes, you can use class I lasers. 188 used a 3 laser array to aim last year, and many teams used flashlights.
