This enables Vorpal to measure ambient light levels. For example, you could implement light seeking or light avoiding behaviors. This bracket is designed to fit into one of the holes in the cap. The light sensor would point generally up toward the ceiling. The sensor power connections should be connected to any unused servo controller port, and the signal should be connected to one of the analog ports that Scratch can access (A3 or A6).
