    Make an Afraid-of-the-Dark Pig (Quirkbot)

    Strawbees Team

    We all have fears, and we trigger this based on how we sense the world around us. While we might have eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin to feel the world around us, robots have different sensors and actuators. In this build, you can explore how to sense luminosity and use a motor to react to the absence of light to make a shivering pig.
