If memory serves, there's some retroreflective tape around the tower goals, and my team wants to use those to help set up for climbing. That's where the retroreflective sensors come in.

Apologies for not being kinda vague. First time I'm actually working with something like this, which is kinda embarrassing since I'm the team's head programmer :/
