Micro-controlled servo flower

WTF?!
A light tracking robot flower!

History 2009
Seeing great stuff done with microcontrollers raised the curiosity to create something with an Arduino, too.
After the first HelloWorld, the next step was to connect some sensors to react on input.
Within a short time after more and more parts were assembled playfully, a lovely flower evolved.

The first construction resembles a robotic arm. Five individual light sensors mounted on a primitive construction of broken circuit boards, wires and wire-straps create the crucial base for the controller unit.

The controller unit evaluates the input signals, makes a decision and sends a reaction in form of calculated signals to the three servos.

Currently
Overflo and me are working on an easy-to-build-version of the Flower. And we are about to have a cool version finished ^^


How to use it?
Hm... How to use a flower?
(NOTE: No watering required!!! && Likes Light and 5 Volt)
