What This Unit Covers

Use if/else if/else chains to guarantee a single unambiguous command reaches hardware each loop cycle.

Implement comparison operators to create soft-limit safety zones that prevent motors from exceeding physical bounds.

Combine multiple sensor thresholds with logical AND/OR operators for robust, driver-verified hardware actions.
