my_ilo = ilo.robot("my-robot")

# Go forward until an obstacle is close
while my_ilo.get_distance_front() > 30:
    my_ilo.move("front", 10, 50) 
    time.sleep(0.1)

my_ilo.stop()  # Stop the robot
my_ilo.step("rot_clock")  # Rotate clockwise
my_ilo.set_led_color(25, 200, 25)
my_ilo.step("front", 0.5)
