I think we have several other options we want to pursue, especially at that
price point. This is just a range finder, not a sweeping LIDAR like we had
last year. While this may technically be quicker and more accurate, we did
fine last year with IR that costs significantly less.

If we still want to pursue sweeping LIDAR, I have another of what we used
last year that we can try again on, though I don't think it is worth it
given the trouble we had last year and the relative simplicity of this
year's course.

Also, as a reminder, we are transitioning all of the team's communication
to the NCSU github organization https://github.ncsu.edu/IEEERobotics/
