I wanted to create an Edison Robot v2 in a digital format which I took inspiration from their website ‘ edscratchapp.com ’
Any sensing blocks I know need the value to be inputted manually. I don't think there's a built in variable for light or colour but…

What can I do with being able to replace the colour in ‘touching colour _’ with a variable?

Edit: as of writing this I've noted a few things with replacing the value with variables:

1. You can write anything with letters and it'll be TRUE
   ' 0 100 100 ' is true, but remove the spaces and it is FALSE
   hexcodes are mostly accurate unless you go for the subtlest variation of the colour
   

I think you can do it with the lego extensions.

Yeah I gotcha but I think it only works with the actual lego extension, and I'm not working on a real robot anyway

Not sure if this is what you're looking for (I don't completely understand the question) but griffpatch has a tutorial on how to detect color at a point on the screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBTh756kCZw

Thank you for the info! I didn't know griffpatch's Ray-Casting series included colour detection…
At least now I know that colours can be translated into a variable number
