HUGE snippage


Now there is a greater chance of false positives if the light is on all
the time.  But I don't believe it's going to be significant.

Also don't forget there is going to be at least one light sensor on
every robot.  And every light sensor has a nice red light perfectly
tuned for the sensor to pick up.  You are going to have to account for
moving lights whether you like it or not.

Derek,

I have some bad news for you.

I did a quick test with the robots I moc-ed up.  I removed the 1x2
technic beam "shroud" I put in front of the light sensor, and I built a
dummy target light on a battery box.


Every run had the searching bot, prefer to seek out the dummy light, and
not the light sensor.

As well, putting that Shroud on my light sensor, completely eliminated
even a "reading" on the search bot.
