Sweep Scanning LiDAR

[Andrew Duerner]

This morning I got some more info from Tyson, "Sweep uses a future version of the LiDAR-Lite sensor from Pulsed Light 3d (now Garmin). It has about 6 times the range of the current cheapest LiDAR and is quieter, lower power and more reliable in sunlit environments".

What would be great in the future to see robot autonomous routines that can progress past preset positional movements to actual field and alliance member awareness. Also, if autonomous gets easier to implement, and more teams demonstrate ability, FIRST may start to give a little more time than 15 seconds for auto.
