Introduction
In this Lesson you will learn about the Distance Sensor, and how data from the Distance Sensor can be used in a project to detect objects. You will also learn about the [Wait until] block, and how that can be used in a VEXcode EXP project to have your robot make a decision. Then, you will apply your learning to detect and move Buckyballs with your BaseBot in the Sense and Sweep Challenge.
