# Red Light, Green Light
|
|
|
|
## Introduction @fullscreen
|
|
|
|
Use the ``||sensors:pause color sensor||`` block to play Red Light, Green Light with your @boardname@ robot!
|

|
|
|
|
## Step 1
|
|
|
|
Open the ``||sensors:Sensors||`` Toolbox drawer. Drag out **2** ``||sensors:pause color sensor||`` blocks onto the Workspace, and drop them into the ``||loops:forever||`` loop.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
forever(function () {
|
|
sensors.color3.pauseUntilColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Blue)
|
|
sensors.color3.pauseUntilColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Blue)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 2
|
|
|
|
In the first ``||sensors:pause color sensor||`` block, use the second drop-down menu to select the "Green" color. In the second ``||sensors:pause color sensor||`` block, use the second drop-down menu to select the "Red" color.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
forever(function () {
|
|
sensors.color3.pauseUntilColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Green)
|
|
sensors.color3.pauseUntilColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Red)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 3
|
|
|
|
Open the ``||motors:Motors||`` Toolbox drawer. Drag out a ``||motors:tank large motors||`` block onto the Workspace, and drop in between the ``||sensors:pause color sensor||`` blocks.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
forever(function () {
|
|
sensors.color3.pauseUntilColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Green)
|
|
motors.largeBC.tank(50, 50)
|
|
sensors.color3.pauseUntilColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Red)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 4
|
|
|
|
Open the ``||motors:Motors||`` Toolbox drawer. Drag out a ``||motors:stop all motors||`` block onto the Workspace, and drop it in after the second ``||sensors:pause color sensor||`` block in the ``||loops:forever||`` loop.
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
forever(function () {
|
|
sensors.color3.pauseUntilColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Green)
|
|
motors.largeBC.tank(50, 50)
|
|
sensors.color3.pauseUntilColorDetected(ColorSensorColor.Red)
|
|
motors.stopAll()
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Step 5
|
|
|
|
Now, plug your EV3 Brick into the computer with the USB cable, and click the **Download** button at the bottom of your screen. Follow the directions to save your program to the brick.
|
|
|
|
Attach a Color Sensor to Port 3 of your brick, and attach your brick to a driving base with large motors attached to Ports B and C. See the building instructions for: _Driving Base with Color Sensor Forward_. Test your program by putting a green or red piece of paper or LEGO brick in front of the color sensor.
