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.
Emphasis mine.

so attach a tape measure that you can extend to know correct placement then will retract and stay retracted. Or if you can get a laser pointer by R02 then you should be able to use that.

As G11 only disallows EXTERNAL positioning devices or jigs anything that is part of the robot meets all other rules specifications and weights should be allowed.
