| Select Color of Team's Ball
| Here we will very simply have two codes, one for blue one for yellow, and the advance button will indicate one color and the play the other. The play button will then begin blinking to indicate when the program should begin.

| Search for Ball
| We use the principle of changing sensor values to determine a sensor spike in value where a ball is identified. The CREATE will then move toward the ball and stop in front of it to allow the vacuum to sweep and pick it up.

| Pick Up Ball
| This portion of the code should begin when the CREATE stops moving the given distance to the ball. The vacuum then turns on and the ball is picked up and lifted by a large servo.

| Separate Ball Based on Color
| This tactic allows for any ball to be picked up and then separated by a servo-powered machine to limit trips to dump off balls. Our balls fall into a shoot with a stopper on the end, and enemy balls fall into a holder where they are out of play.

| Dump Balls
| After David's sorter determines we have the right color ball Jake will turn the robot using light sensors to find the goal and score the ball by rolling it down the slide on top of the robot.
