Touch sensor
The touch sensor, in simple terms, is a key, such as the lamp key, which closes the electric circuit and allows the flow of current.
Programming the touch sensor
Put an ordinary wait block and then choose the touch sensor from the list:
Default port
This sensor connects to port 1, if you use the default settings.
What can the touch sensor sense
After you put the block, you have to choose the condition the sensor will wait for in order to move to the next block:
The robot can wait for the following conditions related to the touch sensor:
- Pressed - The touch sensor button is pressed (pressed by the student or by an obstacle;
- Released - The touch sensor button is released (this is the usual state of the sensor, the obstacle in no longer in the way of the robot);
- Bumped - The touch sensor button is pressed and then released (two actions in one).

Instructors Remote Training
If you are working with students and you want to introduce Robotics to your class or you want to mentor a FLL team, but you are insecure about your technical knowledge in the Robotics field, then this is the right place for you. Having in mind teachers' busy schedule, we have design two different schedules and added an option to design one just for you. FLLCasts's Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Online Training is the perfect match for any teacher.
After the completion of each task the participant has to upload his solution for verification.

Robotics with LEGO - Level 1.0 - Adventure in Space
The first level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in fifth to twelfth grades.
Various constructions with robots are built. Learn how to control the motors so that the robot navigates around the Moon and Earth in various ways. Getting to know the first two sensors. The robot can feel its surroundings with the help of the Touch sensor and avoid obstacles.
The Ultrasonic distance sensor can help the robot avoid obstacles. Students work with concepts like loop, degrees and medium motor. Robots can now do two different actions at the same time - while solving missions on a field, the third motor clears detected obstacles.
