If you consider the laser part of the robot it would not pass the acceptable parts flow chart because it is a safety concern. If you say it's not part of the robot than it would violate G11: it would be an alignment device. Therefore, although the laser is not explicitly banned, your robot might be arbitrarily moved by the head referee. Doing something that violates a rule with the hope that you won't get caught violates gracious professionalism.
