Can we use a flashlight (not a laser pointer) mounted on the robot, and powered by the robot battery, as a target pointing (aiming) device throughout the entire match?

Re: Targeting light
Due to the location of the goal relative to the alliance player stations, such a system would illuminate the alliance members and potentially interfere with their ability to safely control their robots. Therefore, it would be a violation of Rule <S01>. Also, such a system would fail the 2006 FRC Parts Use Flowchart, and therefore not be permitted (i.e. "interfere with human operators?" - yes -> "No, it may not be used").
