What is the blue thing inbetween the photodiodes on
that bot? I've seen them on a lot of robots, and
always wondered, but never asked before. My guess is a
pot in a different packaging than most I've seen,
judging from the placement and the schematics I've
seen. Is that what it is? It's blue, and has a little
metal piece that has a groove in it like a flat headed
screw head. Is that the adjustment part of the
potentiometer? Sorry for the dumb question, but the
curiosity finally got the best of me.
