I know the folks at Neato Robitics who have a miniaturized LIDAR that could sell for $30 retail. If anyone is interested I could ask them more about it.

Chris,
In this video there is small shot of Agra's flying ground of MAV2008, I was available there at that time, along with Major Sharma. I have even the video of that event in my handycam.

Price: $5590.00
Weight: 2.00 lbs
40Hz
30m range

For $10,000 you can probably fly underwater.

Actually, it's a Hokuyo UTM30-LX. Details on the MIT vehicle, as well as the other entries (including Embry-Riddle) are on the IARC website.

Lidar has gotten a lot faster in the last 4 years.
