Learn

Before you can compete in the Cube Crasher Challenge, you first need to learn about the Distance Sensor and how it works, and how to use the [Wait until] block in a VEXcode IQ project with your robot. 

Distance Sensor

The Distance Sensor can be used to measure distance, detect objects, detect an object's relative size, and report object velocity.

Watch this video to learn about what the Distance Sensor is, how it works, and how you can use data from the Distance Sensor in a project to make your robot accomplish a task.
