Wait for It!

Abstract

One of the most useful things your robots will be doing is waiting. Yep, you heard me right— waiting. Don’t believe me? Okay, think about it this way:

• SPOT is moving toward a black line, waiting for the Light sensor to detect the line.

• SPOT is preparing to throw a ball at a target, waiting for the Touch sensor to be pressed and released.

• SPOT is rolling towards the wall, waiting for the Ultrasonic sensor to detect the wall.

• SPOT is sitting on the start line, waiting for the Sound sensor to hear me yell, “Go!”
