Adding Conditions

Now that the VEX V5 Workcell is programmed to pick up a disk from the disk pick up location and move it above the Optical Sensor to determine the color, the conditions need to be added to the [If then] blocks in order to determine which disk drop off location the arm mounted on the V5 Workcell should take the disk to depending on the disk’s color.

  1. Select and drag the <Optical detects color> block from the ‘Optical Sensing’ category in the Tool Box and place it in the first [If then] block. Change the parameter to detect ‘blue.’
    Select and drag the <Optical detects color> block.
  2. Select and drag two <Optical detects color> blocks from the ‘Optical Sensing’ category in the Tool Box and place them in the second and third [If then] blocks. Change the parameters of the blocks to ‘green’ and ‘red.’
    Select and drag two <Optical detects color> blocks.
