Adding some infos: I use LDR for two purposes:1) gather random bits in order to affect motor speed (PWM)2) determine if the robot is stuk. Comparing subsequent readings i got a delta. If the delta i always near 0 then the robot is stuck in a corner so I reverse the motor to bouce off the wall.That's all, no much complexity. Great differences in the drawings can be obtained changhing legs lenght and material and sliding the motor position a bit forward or backward on the body.
