Re: Use of Flashlight as Aiming Aid
To help clear up any concern over whether it's legal to have a really bright light, I'd like to make it clear that team 694 had a motorcycle headlight on the robot, and was so bright that the ref called us on it and made us take it off. We appealed to the FTA, and it went up to the GDC, who ruled that it was legal. So you can probably safely get up to the brightness of a motorcycle headlight without running into trouble with the rules.
