That is quite good but not very impressive compared to the other robotic advances.

Glad to hear it’s a question of time Evan.
Thank you for this and H@ppy Friday.

Hey Evan, I'm glad that you got to ask them about the laser rangefinder at CES (and jealous that I'm not there). Based on the details posted on Hizook, I'm _extremely_ intrigued by the idea of an ultra low-cost laser rangefinder. Can't wait -- be sure to let me know when you hear about it.

That will be great when they do make the laser available separately. I reckon sales of it would be pretty strong.
Just wondering what voltage is supplied through the charging dock?
And what safety measures are implemented against metal objects shorting the contacts on either the charger or the vacuum.

Yes, there is. They know it’s awesome, and they know people want it… At the moment they’re just focused on shipping their product, but they’re looking in to it, so it’s more of a “when” thing than an “if” thing.

So, any chance they’ll market their cheap laser range finder to hobbyists separately?
