The Mobile Robot Lab at Georgia Tech is searching for a "Lasernav" barcode reader.
These devices were orginally sold by Denning Robotics, which has since gone out
of business.  

The device uses a rotating mirror to sweep a laser beam through 360 degrees.
It reports over an RS-232 line any barcodes it sees and the angular offset to
them.  Barcodes are made with retro-reflective tape.

If anyone knows where we might find one, we'd like to hear from you!
