Since this robot will move vertically, it is important to make the casing as light as possible. I used cardboard, but paper or lightweight plastic will work too.

Before doing this step, make sure the code works and you can tell which servo is right and which is left.

I hot-glued the servos onto the cardboard base, and arranged the sensors to be on top, right, left, or front of the robot. I then created 'walls' of the case with more cardboard. I cut out the holes to fit light sensors and motor gears. The top of my robot is just a piece of paper!

... and you're done!
