I was wondering if anybody knows about any low cost, FRC Legal alternatives to the LIDAR Light? |
In theory, this thing is legal (I can't confirm because I don't know if it is Class 1 or Class 1M though):

It's just outside of the price range for FRC but I suspect a message to the manufacturer will result in some discounts for FRC teams.
Also, these are legal and within the price range:

But they have to be paired with one of these:

Also, worth mentioning Intel's RealSense line because I expect to see a few teams using it this coming season.
