Three? Mine has 4 :-)
To show up the different values when the light sensor is placed over the white
background, the black oval and the green bars.
As a Challenge, to program a robot to move forward and then stop at a given
green bar, say the third. Not as simple as it seems.
It gets you into using a variable (container in ROBOLAB) to keep track of the
number of lines the robot has gone over. Also there's a need to get out of the
current bar before going on to the next.
Most novices get their robots stuck at the first green bar that their bot
encounters. Try it!
