First of all, I would say that laser pointers are illegal to use on your robot. When used as a site, they couldn't count as a non functional decoration. And, since they conduct electricity, you would have to build them out of parts from one of the approved electronics suppliers.

Furthermore, I would guess that laser pointers would be disallowed completely due to the risk of eye injury. Last year, the real time scoring operators squatted along side the field, probably at about the level you would be pointing the laser at.

This is a question for FIRST Q/A, though.
