Re: Laser Pointer

We used a class 1 laser as a visual aiming guide for our 2012 robot. It worked ok in practice but on the actual competition field with all the polycarbonate and longer distances it was so dim that it was impossible to see. It did pass inspection though and I don't think the rules on class 1 lasers have changed in any meaningful way since then.
