Flora

myminifactory

Flora is a fun little robot designed to keep its plant companion safe and happy. The robot, Flora, actively seeks out bright light to ensure its plant receives enough sunlight. Its ultrasonic sensors help detect and avoid obstacles with precision, while the light sensor enables Flora to pinpoint the perfect spot for its plant to soak in some light. Equipped with vorpal hexapod software, Flora can be easily programmed using a Scratch extension.
