Working on one right now :-) It's a small tracked bot similar to MIT's
ants. It is going to have inter eyes (light) and outer eyes. Here's the
operation....

1. Robot will use inter eyes to be phototropic and will travel about a
foot.
2. Robot then switches to outer eyes and it pivots toward the light (like
a tank)
3. It then goes back to step 1
