Re: Robogaia rangefinder

I backed this project.

The Robotics community needs to support lower cost mapping sensors.

Kinect is the closest thing available at this time but Micro$oft has other plans for the kinect than robotics.
Navigating obstacles is very difficult without a >$500 LIDAR.

DIYDrones has a good discussion about this sensor.
