Scanning Room With Laser

Has anyone done a room scan with a laser or some other method?

What hardware would you recommend?

How much programming is involved? (I'm not afraid of programming, just curious how much of scanning task is handled by hardware)

What about cost? options?

Arg... I get paid on friday!

Any chance you will have one in 4 days?

OR do you take credit cards? I'm not seeing that paypal takes credit cards anymore.

Something else to think about. There is another floor cleaning robot now being sold by iRobot called the Mint that uses a small indoor cube that is placed above the floor (like on a tabletop) and uses the Northstar indoor GPS process to map and clean a room.

yes paypal only uses credit cards that the main item,just posted it today and still so far have 7 of them on paypal go to profile then update card to add a credit card i am FRED from florida

yes i know all about the mint,irobot just bought the company i bought it to try to hack and found out it was to hard to hack,same with the person who hacked the neato heard he tried too nobody ever hack it yet and yes it does use the northstar indoor gps,but also need a cube for it so not really great for robots,i got lucky to resell it on ebay and get my money back i paid for it,and i had the board remove and put it back main problem is IROBOT will not give you any circuit or codes for itand sensor is hard to wire,too many connections there is another site on the NEATO HACK a WIKI site

I AM NOT A PROGRAMMER but with all the info,codes plus GUI on the neato shouldnt be too hard to program i would think if anybody not good at making a simple circuit i can easy make it for you for free on pay for parts and postage,with should be about $10 total

i really really love to design circuits almost more then building robots also good at looking at a circuit and latter draw it,its called photographic memory
