As promised here is the second video of my newest robot FireFly. She was built for my daughter. As I was talking about the robot to her I called the robot, him. She insisted that FireFly is a she and I agreed with her. I cannot argue with the person that inspires me. The robot reacts to light so that makes him a photovore. This shows his forward and backward movements. It all came together and I am pleased with the result.   Now I will post pictures very soon, promise!!

Here is the first video about my newest robot FireFly. The name and the idea came from my daughter. She seems to inspire me and I worked with her closely to design specific aspects of the robot. She was the one who decorated the base. She also helped me pick out the base. It is actually a reusable plastic container. The base of the robot is and old part from an old toy. Except for the photo-transistors, all the other parts were what I could find in my workshop. There is a second video which shows how he moves.
