light seeker

Turn on this light seeking rover and pull out a flashlight for a fun interactive bot adventure! The rover will automatically push toward the side that detects the most light. 

Inspired by Jeremy Cook's light seeker project, this rover is a bit challenging but very fun.

note: This project works just fine without the treads, just put rubber bands on the drive wheels. The treads can be tricky to print. Be sure your layers are no thicker than .2mm and your bed is very clean.

accessory

Vacuum bags and a pump might seem like an odd accessory, but they can really come in handy if you need to store some filament! Vacuum packing it can help make sure that moisture stays out!
