We use an alignment helper that does not follow either of these rules. It just happens to be a semi-autonomous, out of base, non-Lego manufactured, occasionally rebellious, human child (Genus: Homo; Species: Sapiens). Not available in Lego Stores.

P.S. Anyone thinking of a
helmet mounted Class I or Class II laser that projects the alignment spot(s)
directly on base? (Stay still James, or I am enrolling you in Yoga for
FLL Robotics for next year's competition!). It is probably legal, as the
ambient light does not have to be Lego-manufactured. I wonder how long that rule will last, given that some Lego parts are now made in China, where LEGO does not have factories.

And entirely within base. You can't be touching it when you start the robot.

My students have built an alignment helper in base. They set the robot against it and line the bot up for the missions. They were wondering if this is a legal object to have in the base area?Bridget Nelson
