Solar Tracker

I am trying to design a solar tracker project for my POE class. I have found online a lot of information about hacking a servo and replace the pot for photo sensors. I want to make a bigger system using the same principles, and without programming. Has anyone ever made a simple solar tracker? How did you accomplish it? Would it be possible to run a motor off of a Jag and connect the photo sensors up to it directly without any programming?

Thanks for your input!
