Spin the Exit Conveyor

Now that the red disk has traveled on the Transport Conveyor and is stopped at the entry of the Exit Conveyor, the Exit Conveyor must now spin in reverse in order for the red disk to be moved off of the Exit Conveyor.

  1. Repeat steps 18-20 to add [Spin], [Wait] and [Stop] blocks to the ‘Exit red disk’ comment.

    Add exit blocks

  2. Set the [Spin] block’s direction to ‘reverse.’ Set the [Spin] and [Stop] blocks’ motor to ‘ExitMotor.’

    Set to exit motor

  3. Ensure the parameter of the [Wait] block is set to ‘2.’

    Set exit wait to 2

  4. Place a red disk on the Entry Conveyor.
