Each pair of light sensors is used to determine variance above and below the "ideal"
position, with one pair controling each axis of motion (when both light sensors in a
pair are in shade, the head is pointed directly at the sun (or bright light)). So in
order to use only one pair for both axes, I plan to rotate the tracking head 90
degrees between each tracking period, using touch sensors to coordinate the 90 degree
turns.
