Hi Tang,
I'm glad to see this! I've always liked the Razor, but it did need better
firmware.
I couldn't find a link to the firmware or your interface driver. Can you
provide a link directly to the razor package?

Also, you should consider using
http://www.ros.org/wiki/depthimage_to_laserscan instead of
pointcloud_to_laserscan. It should use a lot less CPU in most situations
and can be run on platforms without PCL.
