Re: 4.3.4.1 - onboard laser?

you can make up sights for aligning your robot on the field. In the past we used simple things, like drinking straws or a small piece of PVC pipe that were attached to the robot, to look through.

you dont need much, trying to align your bot to within 1/4" on a wall 40 feet away would be a waste of time. If you can repeatedly align it within +/- 1 degree thats probabally the most you need.
