Wink Re: 4.3.4.1 - onboard laser?

Ok,
on one hand <G11> says you can't use "alignment devices" taht are NOT part of the robot at the beginning of a match or at any other time....,.Fair enough.

On the other hand, if some sort of "alignment device" is permanently attached to the robot, then that device likely falls under the classification of a "decoration". Yes?

And then, under <R102> and on-board decoration can't affect the outcome of a match and must be in the spirit of "gracious professionalism".

Therefore, Perry Mason...case closed. Just line-up within your 5'x5' box of tape and pray you don't go off inthe wrong direction during autonomous mode; hey which end of the robot faces the wall anyways? Oops....
