(idea just popped up, insulate from engine/motor with some form of foil shielding...) But such is life, I installed 10 LDRs last night and then ran out of time... retrofitting LDRs into the track base is a royal bastard, but the ones I have my hands on are much nicer than the standard orange ones. Keep an eye out for them!

Still, I'm confident you'll work something out. That’s a real shame stuff isn’t working out for you! Still, I’m confident you’ll work something out.
