The ROBOBUG is a small light-sensing robot that can be controlled (steered) by shining a small torch or your mobile phone (as the light source) on to its sensors.
When light is shone onto one of the sensors, the motor controlled by that part of the circuit starts, causing the robot to change direction. If light is shone onto both sensors the robot will move forward in a straight line.
