Flow blocks are basically useless without other blocks.

🖥️ Program It: Use your own programming software to link a Wait block to the Start block. Configure the Wait block as follows:
Mode: Color Sensor > Compare > Color
Port: 2
📸 Document It: Take a screenshot of your program and upload or paste it onto the Formative canvas.

🖥️ Program It: Use your own programming software to link a Wait block to the Start block. Configure the Wait block as follows:
Mode: Ultrasonic Sensor > Compare > Distance Centimeters
Port: 4
📸 Document It: Take a screenshot of your program and upload or paste it onto the Formative canvas.

What is a loop exit condition?

How do you think we can make this Switch block code run multiple times or continuously?
