11) Remaining in the Light
Circuit:
• Light follower
• Acceleration mode
Sensors:
Point the middle one
vertically upwards
and the side ones
approx. 30° forwards.
If you place varikabi some distance away from the
light, it quickly moves towards the light. For
varikabi to continue turning back towards the light,
the tilt of the sensors has to be well adjusted.
varikabi seeks a light and
quickly moves towards it.
Then, it constantly turns
to stay in the light and
accelerates when a
shadow is cast over it.
12) Remaining in a Shadow
Circuit:
• Shadow follower
• Acceleration mode
Sensors:
Point the side ones
approximately 45°
backwards and the
middle one vertically
upwards.
For this function, it is especially important to use
very uniform lighting. In order for varikabi to turn
around repeatedly, the tilt of the sensors must be
very well adjusted.
varikabi moves away
from light and accelerates
when a shadow is over it.
Then, varikabi constantly
tries to turn to stay in the
shadow.
