What are the different types of sensors and how do you use them?

For all, use an "if then block"

Touch sensor: Place "A(or whichever port has the sensor) is pressed" underneath the "if"part of the block), then under the "then" part of the block put what you want to happen when the button is pressed

ex: If A is pressed, then stop moving

Color senor: Place "A(or whichever port has the senor) is color_" under the "if" part of the block, then under the "then" part of the block put what you want to happen when it detects the specific color

ex: if A is color red, then stop moving

Distance sensor: Place "A(or whichever port has the sensor) is closer than/farther than _(distance)" under the "if" part of the block, then under the "then" part of the block put what you want to happen when it is closer or farther than a specified distance

ex: if A is closer than 10 cm, then stop moving

What is the purpose of the 'await' keyword? What happens if you don't add it?

Await stops the "routine" until the line of code is done

Without await : Code will run multiple lines at once 

By leaving out await , we can perform multiple actions at once!
