Progress Shots:
Mold seems to be following the trail of food, though it has now branched out to cover most of its container. The arteries between food piles, following the trail, are the strongest. The repellents are effective. This container has the least growth of them all. Mold has not grown out of the corner where it was originally placed. It has not even grown near the sleeping pills, as we thought it would. The coloring experiment is producing beautiful results. However, the food coloring was absorbed by the agar solution as well as the mold. It is difficult to see the coloring of the mold independent from the agar. We will try another experiment that isolates the colored oats so they don't color the agar.
Now that we have observed the basic characteristics and growth speeds of the mold, we will begin to create mock-robotic petri dishes. Stay tuned.
