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 IQ project to make your robot make a decision. Then, you will apply your learning to detect and move cubes with your BaseBot in the Cube Crasher Challenge. Watch the animation below to see one way the BaseBot could move to turn, detect, and clear each cube from the Field.

The BaseBot starts in the middle of the Field, with four cubes placed randomly on the lines around it. The robot will detect and push off the first cube, then move to detect the second cube. The animation then shows the end of the timed trial as the fourth cube is pushed off the Field.
