Modifying Boe Bot robotics code

If I wanted to add object avoidance or object detection using bumper switches or infrared how would I do it.
Where would I put that code. I want my robot to move towards a light, at the same time be able to
detect or avoid objetcs in it's path.
Note: This comes from the Robotics with Boe Bot manual
[noparse][[/noparse] Title ]
' Robotics with the Boe-Bot - FlashlightControlledBoeBot.bs2 Boe-Bot follows flashlight beam focused in front of it.
