Does what you have in mind violate <G11> at all?
<G11> Alignment Devices - Alignment devices (templates, tape measures, lasers, etc.) that are not part of the ROBOT may not be used to assist with positioning the ROBOT. Teams that use external alignment devices to position their ROBOT will have their ROBOT arbitrarily repositioned by the head referee.
If it doesn't violate that, is affixed to the robot with something other than tape, does not have an internal battery, is safe to the eye, won't throw off other robots (by color, frequency, etc) ... then I would say it's alright to have.
In any case, once Q&A is back up, I'd ask FIRST.
