---+Binary number converter
---++ Objectives
   1. Get really comfortable with variables
---++ Assignment
   1. Create a clean program that will read a binary number (black = 1, white = 0) and display the equivalent number (in decimal) on the screen.  Your robot should stop when it encounters any color other than black or white. Keep the length short.
      a. Each digit will be about one inch square.  There is nothing special separating the colors
---++Suggestions
      a. Start playing two different notes as the robot moves along, one note for black and a different note for white.  Make sure these notes are very short duration.  End when it encounters another color.
      a. Start the variable out as 1, multiply it by 2 for each new inch, display the final number.  It should be a power of 2!
      a. The conditional add one after the multiplier if it is black.
