We are going to test and see if the reflected light is white (outside the line) or black (on the line), and drive our robot accordingly. Open the ``||logic:Logic||`` Toolbox drawer. From the **Conditionals** section, drag out an ``||logic:If then else||`` block onto the Workspace, and drop it into the ``||loops:forever||`` loop.
