I don't understand why Massdrop wouldn't link in the datasheet for this. They just do the bare minimum to advertise the product (and often with spelling mistakes and wrong information) and then leave it up to everyone else to do the research.
Here is the page on RobotShop.com which has links to the datasheet and user manual: http://www.robotshop.com/ca/en/rplidar-360-laser-scanner.html
DreaMaginePerhaps that's because people who voted for the item are expected to know what it is that they want. Unfortunately, they don't know what kind of deal MD will make, so the only unknown is the price. I'd jump on this at $200, for instance, but not at $368. Perhaps the voting mechanism needs to be expanded so MD would know what the 'clearing price' would be, e.g., if 10 say they'd buy it at $300 and 50 at $250 they'd have a better negotiation with the vendor.

Ah forgive my ignorance, did not fully look into this unit. Now that I've read more into this technology, it is actually quite interesting. Does anyone know if this uses open source software?
Han_SoloThat's not what this is at all. That Thingiverse link is to a 3d scanning stage that scans one thing placed on it's stage. This would do a really poor job of that just as much as that scanner would do a poor job as a robot navigation sensor.
