Reflective Spider Feet?

Hello all! This is my first post, so bear with me.

My team was wondering, how reflective are the feet at the end of the spider legs? We had the cool idea that we could mount the camera and an LED to the end of out arm, and then have is search for a reflection of the LED, thus finding where the actual foot it. Would this be possible? The schematics say that they are made out of "bright aluminum", which would be reflective enough, but our members who went to the local kickoff said that the metal was a dull gray. Does anyone know?
