Actually, they should be both crossed. Think about it. The right photodiode
sees more light, the left motor fires to drive it in the direction of that
light. Then, the right tactile sensor touches an obstacle, the sensor grounds
the left motor and the right motor fires to move the bot left and away from
the obstacle.
