Example solutions

 

	Ecoli_HW2_soln Bacteria moving up a concentration gradient using adaptive klinokinesis
	Paramecium_HW3_soln A simulation of voltage-dependent signaling and collision response.
	SwimmingCarrots_HW4_soln Integration of multiple behaviors: food taxis, phototaxis, and collision response.   (Note: the solution file also contains a change in the food 'recycling' code, so that bots don't go after food that is off-screen.)
	OrangeBlue_HW5_soln Blue bots use light as an informational cue to gain a competitive advantage over the orange bots, which only use food cues.
	EdgeFollow_HW6_soln Tactile feedback from its antennae help this cockroach-inspired bot find food. The bot uses spatial boundaries (edges) as an information cue to improve foraging efficiency.
