Hi,

Been looking for one of those robotic vacuum lidar, this guy seems to talk the talk and walk the walk:

Thoughts?

Looks neat; a couple of issues however:

- The "prototype" is more of a proof of concept. There is not much of the physical hardware that will survive to a final shippable device without more design work;
- Will only ship to the US.

I think he's got a good base to get to a prototype, but I don't think he's at the level where he can fulfill a KS yet.

It looks like there is international shipping now.

He does offer international shipping for 25$ last I checked, I backed it. Hopefully it gets enough funding.
