Re: Laser Pointer on Bot for alignment only: Legal or illegal?

Quote:
<R02> ROBOT parts shall not be made from hazardous materials, be unsafe, or cause an unsafe condition. Items specifically PROHIBITED from use on the ROBOT include (but are not limited to):

D. Exposed lasers of any type (COTS devices with completely enclosed integral lasers, such as a laser ring gyro, are permitted)
I would say that would be a no. Even if you don't use it during the match. Check with the GDC though.
