Flora

Flora is a fun little robot designed to keep its plant companion safe and happy. Flora seeks out bright light to ensure its plant gets enough sunlight. Ultrasonic sensors help to detect and avoid obstacles, a light sensor lets Flora know where to plop down and let the plant soak in some light. Flora uses the vorpal hexapod software and can easily be programed with a scratch extension.
