Looks like a great little unit for the money, shame it looks like they wont reach their target though :(

Tyson from Scanse here: We're excited to be offering a LiDAR sensor that's affordable and useful for drones.  We are robotics enthusiasts ourselves and really wanted something like this for our own projects.  When we discovered nothing like it existed, we set out to make it ourselves.  Our kickstarter is trending toward around 120% funded, and with the help of the robotics and drone community we hope to meet that goal.  Check it out here: https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/scanse/sweep-scanning-lidar/#chart-daily
