    Starting Project
    Check Your Understanding:
    1. 1. What does a Move command do when its Mode is set to “On”?
      2. Turn the motors on
      Turn the motors on for a certain number of rotations
      Turn the motors on until the Touch Sensor is triggered
      Combines with the next block to make a special command
    2. 2. What does a Move command do when its Mode is set to “Off”?
      3. Turn the motors off
      Waits for the Touch Sensor to be pressed
      Wait for the Touch Sensor to be pressed, then turn the motors off
      End the program

    Forward Until Release

    The Wait - Touch block can wait for the sensor to be "Released" as well as "Pressed".

    What happens if you set the Wait - Touch block to "Released" and run it with an empty box holding down the sensor?

    Note: When setting up robot, have the obstacle place firmly against the Touch Sensor so that it keeps it pressed in, as shown below.

    What happens?

    The robot moves forward until the Touch Sensor is "Released", then stops.
