- The problem I want to solve is to take a topographic map of a cave.
- The inertial platform must be sufficently light to be hand-carried, it's
- possible to reset the platform every few minutes as a caver can put the
- object on the ground.

- Obviously the budget is the more important constraint, I think that 1000$
- is the maximum price I can afford.
-
- I you have any information that I can use, let me know.
