Monitoring Variable and Sensing Values with VEXcode GO Python

Monitoring variable and sensor values provides important visual cues that allow the user to see what is happening in a VEXcode GO project in real time. The Monitor Console in VEXcode GO allows users to make a visual connection between the project and the actions of the GO robot.
