Apoca-bot is to solar powered robot designed to preserve itself and carry around a plant! The two LDRs are used to allow it to guide itself to a source of light for charging.
As of 4/13/13, I am working on electronics for the solar panel. I am also working on a better program that includes the SLEEP/NAP commands, which put the robot to sleep for a set amount of time, reducing the power usage of the basic stamp 2 to just 25 microamps.
