SUMMARY
This chapter introduced three techniques to help find the cause(s) of SumoBot problem
behaviors: (1) LED signals, (2) debugging routines, and (3) datalogging a sumo round.
Conditional compiler directives were applied to all these techniques, so that you can
change one or two values at the beginning of the program to either include or exclude
your conditional LED/debugging/datalogging code from the program.
