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