Go to Post I like drifting, but I have to go WRC. Putting a car where it doesn't belong feels right, like combining together drill motors and power window motors and putting them on a big patch of carpet. - Billfred [more]

That would be important for active vision tracking. I'd need to have a very powerful ring light for the headlight to reflect off the tape!

R8 is the only possibly conflicting rule I found: ROBOT parts shall not be made from hazardous materials, be unsafe, cause an unsafe condition, or interfere with the operation of other ROBOTS.

The ring lights you can buy from Andy Mark are plenty powerful and lots of teams use them. I don't think you'll run into any trouble using them.
