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

No, it is not legal.

Quote:
<G11> ROBOT Alignment Devices - Alignment devices (templates, tape measures, laser pointers,
etc.) that are not part of the ROBOT may not be used to assist with positioning the ROBOT.
Violation: TEAMS that use external alignment devices to position their ROBOT will have
their ROBOT arbitrarily repositioned by a referee before the start of the MATCH.
remember Adobe reader or acrobat have a search command thats very useful.

Edit: that, combined with rule R02, which ,4lex posted would pretty much bar them completely for any reason.
