Re: Use of Flashlight as Aiming Aid

We used a standard halogen bulb from radio shack, but the light source doesn't matter as long as it is bright enough. To further assist, we used a kaleidoscope with a unique pattern that was discernable and easy to line up. Our entire aiming system depended on this, and it was easy for the drivers to be able to see the target relative to the goal and fire.
