I may have jumped the gun a little bit in making that connection. I assumed that the rules from last year about lasers are the same as this year's, and that's not a safe assumption. I know for a fact that 188 had lasers on their robot last year that were visible on the backboard for aiming. I'm not sure about the inspection process, if someone from 188 sees this and wants to chime in that would be good.
Also, I just checked last year's manual and the rule is the same. So it's safe to assume 188's lasers were class I.
For what it's worth, it would probably be a lot easier to implement a flashlight, but both are legitimate options.
