Is there any way to detect light without a sensor? I was discussing this earlier today with someone on our team doing Mission - neither of us could think of anything.

Would a solar panel going into a voltmeter work?

That's... a sensor, right?

That.... would be correct... PM2017, I really don't know what gets into your head sometimes. (Great, now I've successfully referred to my username in the second person... Brilliant.)

More importantly, would a not gate be considered a sensor? I think I've just had a stroke of genius.

IMO a switch wouldn't be a sensor. Depends the kind of gate...

What did you have in mind when you said depends on the gate?

I’m sorry, but please clarify this for me because I thought I saw this in the rules but now I can’t find it- are we required to have some type of timer? Or isn’t it just for bonus points? Will we be penalized in any way for not having a timer?
