Ok, here is my question: Is there any rule against puting an LED lamp or flashlight on the robot that can reflect off of a matalic surface so our camera can track it. Plese give me the rule against it... if there is one. If not tell me that there isn't any rulle against it. Thank you.
Sincerely,

I am guessing you are planning on using the diamond plate at the bottom of the goal. This could be a good idea but will warrant a closer inspection at the events you attend. If the beam is of a sufficently small size and a different color than the goal lighting, it might be allowed. One additional thing to consider in your design is that the front side of each player station is also made out of diamond plate up to the level of the OI shelf. This would have the potential of false lock on the player station instead of the goal.
If you choose to continue, your best bet is to ask the question on the Q&A for clarification. Inspectors will follow the answers provided.
