VLP-16 LiDAR sensor

The 16-channel VLP-16 LiDAR sensor was released in 2014 and is commonly called the PUCK. Two additional versions were released later. The PUCK Lite functions exactly the same as the standard PUCK, but weighs 25% less. The PUCK Hi-Res sensor's vertical field of view is +/-10 degrees as compared to +/-20 degrees of the other two PUCK versions.
