[Blind-Rollers] Potential Benefits of Super Lidar for Blind Rollers

[Shane Lowe]

Karen and all,
That sounds intense, and I'm glad to hear that you're on the mend!
When I reached out to the list earlier this year, I didn't receive any
feedback, so we weren't sure how to proceed or if users were
interested in working with us to design something.
I would love to know how you envision something like this working, and
we can go from there! :)
