[ODE] ray changes from 0.5 to 0.6

[Pierre-Laurent CHAMBERT]

I think that m_laserRange is the length of the raycast?
then contact.geom.depth is not a ratio (is that right?) and so if you do 
contact.geom.depth * m_laserRange you'll get bigger value!

I think you just need to keep contact.geom.depth as height value.
