How is the Telephone Game influenced by the light in your room? Pro Preview

The telephone game played with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robots relies on the Color Sensors and the detection of colors. Sometimes the robots won't work. They could be influenced by a number of factors like the position of the sensor and the lighting in the room. This tutorial is a demonstration on how to account for and resolve this issue.

Distance between the sensor and the color wheel of the previous robot

When we increase the distance between the color wheel of the previous robot and the color sensor of the next robot we would brake the telephone line. Communication will stop. We can not reliably detect the color when the distance is larger

Colors are influenced by the lighting in the room

During the recording of this tutorial, the robots were behaving in a different way than during classes. Main reason is that the lighting is different in both cases. Have this in mind if the telephone line is not successfully working.
