I haven't read truly deep into the rules this year but last year they didn't have a problem with it as long as it didn't distract drivers.... (which it did in most cases) but other than for alignment ( for lining up the robot before a match) purposes I believe they are allowed. But don't quote me make sure you read carefully.
