Your Turn – Adjusting the Performance and Changing the Behavior
You can adjust the program's performance by adjusting the scale factor term in this
constant declaration:

If you change the scale factor from

√
Try different scale factors, such as
any differences in the way the Boe-Bot responded to the flashlight beam.

Bot's behavior so that it tries to get the light out of its eyes.

flashlight beam with both photoresistor circuits and turns away if it detects the
flashlight beam with only one of its photoresistor circuits.
ACTIVITY #6: ROAMING TOWARD THE LIGHT
The example program in this activity can be used to guide the Boe-Bot through exiting a
fairly dark room toward a doorway that's letting in brighter light. It also allows for much
better control over the Boe-Bot's roaming by casting shadows over the photoresistors
with your hand.
Readjusting the Photoresistors
This activity works best if the photoresistors' light collecting surfaces are pointing
upwards and outwards.
