The\ntouch sensor can be used as a way to make a robot sensitive to physical\nobstacles, a way to control the robot manually while it is running a\nprogram, or even as a way to input numerical data. A few ideas\nfor the use of touch sensors are:
\n
\n1) Build a bumper to respond to obstacles in the robot's path, such as\nchanging direction whenever the touch sensor bumps into something.
\n2) Design a controller out of multiple touch sensors to control the direction of a robot, like a remote control.
\n3) Use the touch sensor to allow users to input two numbers and display the sum.
\n
\nFor an example program, see the activity \"Bulldozer\" in the Activities section.
