10. A Sense Can Control Multiple Action Blocks
You can use a single Sense block to control
one or more Action blocks.
Build a Lighthousebot that uses the Knob
Sense block to control the speed and the
brightness of a rotating robot tower. The
Lighthousebot uses the Knob Sense block to
control the speed of the Rotate Action block
and the brightness of the Flashlight Action
block.
Build a simple Gobot with a Brightness Sense
block and a Drive Action block: It goes when it
senses light.
Add a Speaker Action block. Now it goes and
chirps when it senses light. Add a Flashlight
Action block. Now it goes and chirps and lights
up when it senses light. Add all the Action
blocks you want. They all respond to the same
Brightness Sense block.
With a lot of light on the Brightness Sense
block, all the Action blocks will act a lot.
Without light on the Brightness Sense block,
the Action blocks won’t do much.
