Re: Aiming that remote: Laser pointer allowed?
I'd have to say no. Lasers are the anti-safety goggles when it comes to eyes at competitions, and have been explicitly banned for use on the robot and as a signaling device. Although you may have found a loophole in the rules you just listed, FIRST's attitude towards focused beams of coherent light seems quite clear.
