Essentially this involves becoming God, picking up a lake, and then dropping it over some poor guys (put in favorite supercar).
I like this kind of crazy project.

This project is EXACTLY what I was planning on doing with my fadora and a heads up display. Thank you [chris]

I dont think Digikey or mouser has them :-(

I have done exactly the same, about one year ago and altough the name LIDAR (light detecting and ranging) was the same !!! It was based upon Pic16F628 but using a stepper motor, not a RC servo. I suggest to mount the sensor in the vertical way, because is much more accurate if you span horizontal way (see the sensor PDF). If you want take a look to the picture of my lidar version, this is the address: http://www.robotop.biz/images/lidar.jpg
