Re: Flashlight

We bought a very high lumen outdoor flashlight from bass pro. We then put it in a six inch tube also. We only used it when lining up to limit effects also. It would work from full court easily. We use a spike to turn it on and off. It is actually a 6v, but we are using one of the 5v outputs to send power. In the end our drivers stopped using it, because they found they could line up from the pyramid. It fell off in one match, as zip ties can break. We never put it back on. The goals are pretty wide this year. Someone noticed us testing it in 1986's reveal video if you want to see it in action.
