Re: Use of Flashlight as Aiming Aid

Team 1649 used two 6 volt halogen flashlights that we bought from Home Depot during the Orlando Regionals. We bought two in order to reduce the voltage from the 12 volt battery. We had half of the voltage go to one of the flashlights and the other half of the voltage to the other flashlight. Our flashlights were very important they were our only way of aiming our shooter the team knew that when the flashlight was in the botom left corner of the three point goal that we would make the shot. Our flashlights also allowed us to watch the field the entire time, we didn't have to look at the computer screen to aim.
