This is the Cybug I built. It has no software, only hardware. There are two CdS cells up front to sense light. They are attached to a 556 dual timer IC which sends out pulses to the L293 H-Bridge driver. The whiskers are connected to two transistors which reverse the motors when activated. This bug will move toward the lightest area of a room. I was able to find some geared motors at Alltronics for about $10. The Cybug schematic is here.
