## Results
### Making the robot's speed depend on sounds in the environment
#### Exitatory vs inhibitory behaviour
If we use exitatory connections as in the more sound we measure the more motor power, the robot will drive forward at high speed without ever slowing down because of the constant noise from its own motor.
#### Excitatory vs inhibitory behaviour
If we use excitatory connections as in the more sound we measure the more motor power, the robot will drive forward at high speed without ever slowing down because of the constant noise from its own motor.
Using inhibitory behaviour as in the more sound the less motor power, makes the robot stop whenever a loud sound ocours, and its max speed is very low because the faster it moves the louder the noise from its motors becomes and as a result the speed is lowered.
It kind of felt as if it was a creature that tried to avoid decection by being as quite as possible and especially quite whenever it thought it heard someone.
