Actually you don't, you want a different level of sensors to evaluate the
environment (eg ir object sensors).
You're just complicating your design by putting too many functions on each
layer of sensors.
For example, something bumps you from behind indicates an -active-
envornment-, something the vast majority of Lego's don't do. They're the
only bot on the field. If you are in an active environ then having that
sort of bump response isn't going to do you anygood. I'll leave the actual
exercise of working through the 4 combinations as an exercise.
