Connecting a lazer rangefinder to a liner actuator

I am trying to see if its possible to connect a lazer range finder to a liner actuator maybe  via something like an arduino and be able to preset positions on the actuator that relate to the distance the lazer is reading. I am looking for fresh talent to take on this challenge and claim the prize at the end of the project, that is if it can even be done. Any interested parties please feel free to contact me and I will answer any questions you may have. Thank you.  Leo  Masters               [email protected]
