illuminating reflective targets
At kickoff it was stated that this year's robots will be allowed an illumination source to detect the reflective targets on the end of the scoring pegs. Does it make sense to be able to turn the light source on/off a frame or two at a time and take the difference between the frames for targeting information? Incandescent lights are probably too slow, but an LED is easily quick enough. Also, the light source doesn't have to be white, nor would it have to stay the same color (there are plenty of superbright red and green LEDs out there).
Any thoughts? Am I interpreting the rules correctly?

I'd say start working on other forms of wireless communication. Scout using Morse Code, hand signals, light flashes (LOST anybody?)... Paper cups and string are cheap too... - AndyB [more]
