2. Face Colors
Power
Green faces route power
throughout a MOSS robot.
Once a block is powered by
connecting a green face to a
Battery Block, its other
green faces will power more
blocks.
Data In
Brown faces listen for data
to tell that block what to do.
Connect a red face on a
sensor to the brown face on
a motor block and it’ll drive
according to the sensor’s
output.
Pass-through
Blue faces can conduct
either Power or Data, but not
both at once. You can use
the blue faces on a Flexy
Block to connect two faces
that can’t be arranged to
touch.
Data Out
Red faces broadcast data.
For instance, the red face on
a Proximity Sensor sends out
data according to how close
it is to an object.
Understanding the colors of MOSS faces is essential to building robots. Power and
Data must flow through your construction without mixing. If they do, you won’t hurt
MOSS, but your robot may misbehave.
