IR sensor moved to the tail tip
I'm not sure why the IR sensor was so obscurely placed. Maybe to reduce sunlight interference, or to keep it close to the circuitboard, but I found that it made the robot less responsive, and I suspect that is why I've seen many videos of Bittle with the tail removed.
So, I made a new tail from EVA foam (because I did like the shape), and extended the sensor to the tip of the new tail.
