This project did not work as intended. I ran into structural problems along the way, in other words, the structures I made to support the solar-panel could not hold its weight. The electronics and programming were fairly easy due to the wealth of information available on the internet in the form of DIY tutorials. I have learned alot about robotics from this project and engineering in general. For example, I learned about structures such as cantilevers and the uses of BiPolar Stepper Motors. Along with that, I was able to learn that solar-panels are long-term investments with a significant payoff team.
