I'm making something quite similar. A legOS program, plus a Linux program
(KDE GUI, liblnp+lnpd), that's sort of a "universal scanner driver". It's
based on BugOne's Pipe Scanner program (Windows, spirit.ocx). It's being
tested on the same kind of robot (rover with vertical arm scanning what's
above it), but should work on any. Horizontal resolution (for the pipe
scanner at least) is 1600 pixels. (Of course, this means downloading the
image will take a while; I'm thinking of putting in LZ77 compression.) When
it's done, I'll post the software, but not having a digital camera,
scanner, or patience to make an LDraw model, you'll have to build the bot
yourself.
