I can see how this can happen and it depends on the sequence of events. This
sequence will cause this behavior:
touched AND distance < 9 - Motor turns on
touched AND distance > 9 - Motor running, waiting for distance < 9
untouched AND distance > 9 - Motor running, still waiting for distance < 9
This may be a good time to introduce data wires and using the logic block to do
a logical AND.

| One of my students built the chainsaw model from nxtprograms.com. He wanted to make the blade turn only when it was at a distance less than 9 inches from the table. So he attached an ultrasonic and made one mod to the program. The program in NXT-G (...) (15 years ago, 23-Jan-10, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
