I'm not sure if I'm setting it incorrectly, but it seems like the 'laser' on the spybot (motor out C) flickers, which is really bad when you're reading the light sensor.
Is it possible to set it so it's always on?

You have access to a powerful light right now. The 'laser'! Why not redirect
it's light down to where you need it?
