## Construct
### Build
Think about a creature’s movement for inspiration. Your mechanism can be attached or unattached to the EV3 Brick. You can start by tinkering with the LEGO elements in the picture add then build on.

Think about:
Think about:
* Does your robot move when the sensor is activated?
* If not, what will you change to make the robot’s ability to sense and respond more obvious?
* What other behaviors can you add to the robot to make it more realistic?
