Let me begin by saying the provided sensor code is garbage! I basically ended up ripping it apart and pretty much coding my own.

The sensors are DigitalInputs, and they have a get() function that returns true if the tape is sensed, false if not. See the example below.

DigitalInput middle, right, left;
public Robot() {
    middle = new DigitalInput(1);
    right = new DigitalInput(2);
    left = new DigitalInput(3);
}
public void autonomous() {
    if(middle.get()) {
        // drive straight
    } else if(right.get()) {
        // drive left
    } else if(left.get()) {
        // drive right
    }
}
