Lesson: EV3 - "Move until Touch"

Overview: 
The goal of this lesson is to explore the use of the EV3 Touch Sensor and understand the parameters of the Wait block (yellow palette). Students will work through the "Wait for Touch" video lessons from the EV3 Trainer product from Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Academy.
Objectives: 

Students will be able to:

1. Write an EV3-G program for a robot to respond to the touch sensor

2. Control the response of a robot through the EV3-G Wait  block parameters

3. Explain the role of each Touch sensor parameter in the Wait-for- block configuration panel
