Re: Update 5

Ok, i know that the use of lasers is a big topic and i can see why. A laser pointer would be a good thing to help position the robot, but if you can't have a laser pointer permanently attached to your robot then you can't use one at all. This is beacause in that same rule <g11> it states that if an external alignment devise is used to align the robot (i.e. a laser pointer) then that robot will be arbitrarilly positioned. The word lasers was most likely removed so teams wont put them permanently on their robots.

In my opinion teams should focus more on the vision target and less time on interpreting weither or not they can use a laser. After all first has provided us with all of the nessesary things to make the camera follow the target.
