Re: Vex Flame finding

set up the 2 light sensors at the rough level of the candle and as far away from eachother as the dimesions allow. The 2 senors should face slightly inward if possible
Compare the readings of the 2 sensors and give more power to the motor on the same side as the reading with more light (I believe that lower #s are bright light but I am not sure)
This should center you on the candle - Put in code to stop when you cross the white pad around the candle otherwise you will run right into the candle

I recommend trying to narrow the range of vision for the sensors. If you can only use KOP see if a couple lock plates (without the center piece which actually put the axle through) gives you a wide enough range... I think that hole in the bearing flats is a little too narrow.

Tell me if it Works! and good Luck!
