Bumper Robot V2

This version of the bumper robot has a smart RGB LED strip fitted with 5 LEDs.
There is a front and back bumper connected to pins a1 and a2 respectively.
If the front bumper is triggered the robot will move backwards and the LEDs will start to flash from the front to the back indicating that the robot is moving backwards.

If the back bumper is triggered the robot will start to move forward and the LEDs will flash from the back to the front to indicate the change in direction.
