Our Team was using the LIDAR Lite rangefinder this year in order to get the distance to the goal. We were thinking of doing a servo mounted version in order to do some basic point cloud tracking of objects on the field. We were going to order a new one for this purpose, however it turns out the the company that was making them (PulsedLight) was bought by Garmin; their website is now offline (
http://pulsedlight3d.com/), and we are now worried that they are no longer being manufactured, especially as their previously listed official distributors no longer have any stock.
I was wondering if anybody knows about any low cost, FRC Legal alternatives to the LIDAR Light?
