TOUCH "reverse" means reverse both motors if touch sensor A or B

TOUCH "waitfor" means do nothing until touch sensor A or B

Correct.

[4] presumably this means "stop motors if light is bright"

LIGHT "waitfor" means wait for a light change before any action.

[5] presumably this means "stop motors if light is dark"

[6] presumably this means "stop motors until light returns to previous > level"

LIGHT "break" means stop motors if there is a light change.

NOTE: A "light change" seems to be a wide value that is activated

It definitely looks like they have the majority of "child-type" [1] robot projects pretty well covered, including (almost?) all of the obvious things you would use the sensors for. - Robert Munafo (URL) LEGO: TC+++(8480) (...)

That really helps a lot! Now I know what the Scout can do. I'm still not sure if I'll buy one, but it certainly makes it more likely. To sum up (for others) the Scout user will: - select an initial type of movement: none, straight, zigzag, circle (...) (25 years ago, 7-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)
