Branch on a Variable & Use Wires What's a “Variable”? It's a box to put something in, like text, a number, or a true/false value. Why might we use a “Variable”? To reference it later in the program. What is a “Compare” block? A “Compare” block tests the value of a numeric variable against a another number. When might we use a “Compare” block? To test the value of a sensor...

SensorsWhen should I stop? Go Forward until you see dark Use a move and a wait block Then add a stop block Check your light levels
SensorsWhen should I stop? Go Forward until you see dark Use a move and a wait block Then add a stop block Check your light levels The wait until sensor block is one way to stop on a line... Our way is better when you need both power and accuracy. Now we'll build an improved loop checking sensor every 6 degrees Then try changing the number of degrees
MyBlocksGood things come in small packages Take our “Go to Dark” loop program and make it a MyBlock Combine a move with our “Go to Dark” MyBlock

Sensor CalibrationIs it night or just cloudy? First we'd like to explain the Calibrate Block Then we'll show you how we use it in our Calibrate program We've posted “Cougar Calibrate.rbc”, our calibrate program, on CougarRobot.com Why is Cougar Calibrate better?
