What are you all using for a "photon cannon" this year and what exactly are you using it for? Normal aligning to wall?

Thanks, we are generally happy with the robot performance this weekend.
The flashlight basically provides a line on the ground in front of the driver which allows us to line up with stuff on the field from far away. When we initially put the light on we immediately saw an improvement in driver performance. I contribute this to the driver being able to look at the light instead of the robot while driving. Effectively, it becomes intuitive to look where the robot is going to be rather than where is currently is.

The drivetrain this year is actually has a pretty interesting story behind it. I don't have time to properly do it justice right now, but maybe sometime later this week I'll type it all out.
