Chapter 12: Decisions, Decisions

This chapter 12 introduces the final block in the Common Palette.
The final block called switch block.
The switch block allows the robot to do more than two different actions, depends on what the sensor has sensed.
The switch block is worked by the sensors, and digits.
For sensors, the switch block will have two different action, whether the sensor has sensed something or not sensed anything.
For digit, the robot can go to more complicated, which sensors are more organized, and can do more than two different actions.

For example, when the robot is using the light sensor switch block.
I can use the switch block to make the robot, to go forward, when the sensor senses light, and stop when the sensor senses dark. The switch block easily allows you to program and make the robot to performs.

The switch block is siginificantly important, when the robot is going to be automated, and under the condition when the robot has to choose what to do, and do action by its decision.

In addition, the switch block makes the robot more human like, where it collects data by itself, and decide what to act, and do it by itself.
