chewie is an unknown quantity at this point
optical or infrared sensors?

Are the sensors infrared, or optical? can they sense different colors using a byte, or are they infrared and sense a reflective surface, and be used a proximity sensor using a bit...Also, if they are optical, what values indicate lighter and darker colors? I'm guessing lower is lighter, higher darker?
I'm going on experience with lego mindstorms sensors here...
Or...is the tape even white...is it the reflective tape, as on the bins?
I've gotten a little confused with the white tape, and people posting just using bits to access the sensor data...
Thanks a lot.
